More quotes by Jack Welch
Every leader makes mistakes, every leader stumbles and falls. The question with a senior level leader is, does she learn from her mistakes, regroup, and then get going again with renewed speed, conviction and confidence?
Jack Welch
Public hangings are teaching moments. Every company has to do it. A teaching moment is worth a thousand CEO speeches. CEOs can talk and blab each day about culture, but the employees all know who the jerks are. They could name the jerks for you. It's just cultural. People just don't want to do it.
Jack Welch
Strategy is not a lengthy action plan. It is the evolution of a central idea through continually changing circumstances.
Jack Welch
It is better to act too quickly than it is to wait too long.
Jack Welch
When it's time to let someone go, do it right. No surprises. No humiliation.
Jack Welch
Companies don't give job security. Only satisfied customers do.
Jack Welch
If you don't deliver, you don't earn the flexibility.
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
Leaders relentlessly upgrade their team, using every encounter as an opportunity to evaluate, coach, and build self-confidence.
Jack Welch
All of management is about self-confidence
Jack Welch
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
Jack Welch
If there is anything I would like to be remembered for it is that I helped people understand that leadership is helping other people grow and succeed. To repeat myself, leadership is not just about you. It's about them
Jack Welch
The team with the best players wins.
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
People aren't the same. Business is, in my opinion, all about the team that fields the best players. It's not about an idea. An idea goes away. Somebody catches up with it. It's not about a widget.
Jack Welch
Globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just to sell or to source, but to find intellectual capital - the world's best talents and greatest ideas.
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
Leading a big company means never allowing a company to take itself too seriously.
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
If we wait for the perfect answer, the world will pass us by
