More quotes by Jack Welch
Someone, somewhere has a better idea.
Jack Welch
It is better to act too quickly than it is to wait too long.
Jack Welch
If you managed a baseball team, would you listen more closely to the team accountant or the director of player personnel?
Jack Welch
Control your destiny or somebody will.
Jack Welch
The Internet is the Viagra of big business.
Jack Welch
Nothing of any importance has ever been accomplished by a pessimist.
Jack Welch
The thing it taught me was that winning's a helluva lot more fun than losing. It also taught me that the team with the best players that worked together the best wins.
Jack Welch
Real communication is an attitude, an environment. It is the most interactive of all processes. It requires countless hours of eyeball to eyeball, back and forth. It involves more listening than talking.
Jack Welch
The best thing workers can bring to their jobs is a lifelong thirst for learning.
Jack Welch
Approach every meeting with a purposeful, high-energy, ready-to-make-a-contribution attitude, and watch how fast leadership’s perception of you follows your behavior.
Jack Welch
People who are coaches will be the norm. Other people won't get promoted.
Jack Welch
For a large corporation to be effective, it must be simple. For an organization to be simple, its people must have self-confidence and intellectual self-assurance. Insecure managers create complexity, real leaders do not clutter.
Jack Welch
No vision is worth the paper it's printed on unless it is communicated constantly and reinforced with rewards.
Jack Welch
No one is doing something in your business - getting a sale, having a key customer, working on an R&D project - doing anything that's more important than something you say is going to change the company.
Jack Welch
Above all, good leaders are open. They go up, down, and around their organization to reach people. They don't stick to the established channels. They're informal. They're straight with people. They make a religion out of being accessible. They never get bored telling their story.
Jack Welch
No one can guarantee you a job other than satisfied customers. That's the only thing that works. Nothing creates work other than products and services you provide that create satisfied customers.
Jack Welch
Take time to get to know people. Understand where they are coming from, what is important to them. Make sure they are with you.
Jack Welch
Strategy means making clear-cut choices about how to compete.
Jack Welch
...I think that ideally that is how a company works. It becomes a place of ideas, not a place of position.
Jack Welch
First and most obvious, bring out the three old warhorses of competition - cost, quality, and service - and drive them to new levels, making every person in the organization see them for what they are, a matter of survival.
Jack Welch
