More quotes by Jack Welch
Business is a game, and as with all games, the team that puts the best people on the field and gets them playing together wins. It's that simple.
Jack Welch
What Sam Walton did was to go into one of the most mature industries of all and find a way to make it grow, grow, grow, double-digit, month after month, year after year. He did it by innovation, customer focus, and above all, speed.
Jack Welch
Never miss out on an opportunity like a good recession.
Jack Welch
Stretch targets energize. We have found that by reaching for what appears to be the impossible, we often actually do the impossible and even when we don't quite make it, we inevitably wind up doing much better than we would have done.
Jack Welch
It's the internet like the flu - it just spreads like crazy.
Jack Welch
People always overestimate how complex business is. This isn't rocket science. We've chosen one of the world's simplest professions.
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
If we don't create private sector jobs and just - just creating public sector jobs, we're going nowhere. This is a bad game. You've got to have innovation. You've got to have tax policies that support innovation.
Jack Welch
All of management is about self-confidence
Jack Welch
Excellence and competitiveness aren't incompatible with honesty and integrity.
Jack Welch
Change before you have to.
Jack Welch
My main job was developing talent. I was a gardener providing water and other nourishment to our top 750 people. Of course, I had to pull out some weeds, too.
Jack Welch
You have no right to be a leader if someone who works for you doesn't know where they stand.
Jack Welch
The hero is the one with ideas.
Jack Welch
We've only been wealthy in this country for 70 years. Who said we ought to have all this? Is it ordained?
Jack Welch
I was afraid of the internet... because I couldn't type.
Jack Welch
Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.
Jack Welch
Don't make the process harder than it is.
Jack Welch
If you get the best people on your team, you've got plenty of time to do the things you like to do and can add more value to.
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
