More quotes by Jack Welch
Control your own destiny or someone else will.
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
We've only been wealthy in this country for 70 years. Who said we ought to have all this? Is it ordained?
Jack Welch
Change has no constituency and a perceived revolution has even less.
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
In every company, differentiation is never more important than it is in times of trouble, and that's the time when everyone tends to go to the well and equalize rather than differentiate.
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
If you reward candor, you'll get it.
Jack Welch
Trust happens when leaders are transparent.
Jack Welch
The Internet is the Viagra of big business.
Jack Welch
The secret of success is changing the way you think.
Jack Welch
Companies don't give job security. Only satisfied customers do.
Jack Welch
A leader's role is not to control people or stay on top of things, but rather to guide, energize and excite.
Jack Welch
In order to lead a country or a company, you've got to get everybody on the same page and you've got to be able to have a vision of where you're going. America can't have a vision of health care for everybody, green economy, regulations - can't have a bunch of piece - meal activities. It's got to have a vision.
Jack Welch
Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be.
Jack Welch
We bring together the best ideas - turning the meetings of our top managers into intellectual orgies.
Jack Welch
When you were made a leader you weren't given a crown, you were given the responsibility to bring out the best in others.
Jack Welch
Strategy is simply resource allocation. When you strip away all the noise, that's what it comes down to. Strategy means making clear cut choices about how to compete. You cannot be everything to everybody, no matter what the size of your business or how deep its pockets.
Jack Welch
If you don't have public hangings for bad culture in a company, if you don't take people out and let them say, they went home to spend more time with the family. It's crazy.
Jack Welch
Excellence and competitiveness aren't incompatible with honesty and integrity.
Jack Welch
