There is no straight line to a dream.
Jack Welch
If we wait for the perfect answer, the world will pass us by
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
Hierarchy is an organization with its face toward the CEO and its ass toward the customer.
Jack Welch
When it's time to let someone go, do it right. No surprises. No humiliation.
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

Jack Welch
One of the things about leadership is that you cannot be a moderate, balanced, thoughtful, careful articulator of policy. You've got to be on the lunatic fringe.
Jack Welch

Jack Welch
Change before you have to.
Jack Welch

Jack Welch
Wright is a visionary with a great strategic mind, and he's a strong business leader with outstanding people skills, ... He's a terrific guy and will be a key force in guiding the company's future growth.
Jack Welch
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
Jack Welch
Just because you are the boss doesn't mean you are the source of all knowledge.
Jack Welch
I believe social responsibility begins with a strong, competitive company. Only a healthy enterprise can improve and enrich the lives of people and their communities.
Jack Welch
No vision is worth the paper it's printed on unless it is communicated constantly and reinforced with rewards.
Jack Welch
If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings and put compensation as a carrier behind it you almost don't have to manage them.
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
Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be.
Jack Welch
The hero is the one with ideas.
Jack Welch
