More quotes by Jack Welch
A company has only so much money and managerial time. Winning leaders invest where the payback is the highest. They cut their losses everywhere else.
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
...I think that ideally that is how a company works. It becomes a place of ideas, not a place of position.
Jack Welch
I don't feel under-taxed in any way at all.
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
There are only two sources of competitive advantage: the ability to learn more about our customers faster than the competition and the ability to turn that learning into action faster than the competition.
Jack Welch
When I stop learning something new and start talking about the past versus the future, I will go.
Jack Welch
As a leader, you have no right to have any employee wonder how they fit in and where they are going.
Jack Welch
I’ve learned in a hundred ways that I rarely regretted acting but often regretted NOT acting fast enough.
Jack Welch
What the Commission is seeking cuts the heart out of the strategic rationale of our deal.
Jack Welch
The value decade is upon us. If you can't sell a top-quality product at the world's lowest price, you're going to be out of the game.
Jack Welch
In real life, strategy is actually very straightforward. You pick a general direction and implement like hell.
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
The secret of success is changing the way you think.
Jack Welch
We know where most of the creativity, the innovation, the stuff that drives productivity lies - in the minds of those closest to the work.
Jack Welch
When employees underperform, a leader tells them so.
Jack Welch
I believe that in any initiative, you can't have a flavor of the month. When you believe something is profound in a company, you can not be a logical leader. You have to go to the lunatic fringe. There is no way that logic is what you need to change people.
Jack Welch
Take the middle 70 percent and tell them what they need to do to get into the top 20 percent.
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
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
