Jack Welch
When employees underperform, a leader tells them so.

Jack Welch
Just because you are the boss doesn't mean you are the source of all knowledge.
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
Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while.
Jack Welch
I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.
Jack Welch
Leading a big company means never allowing a company to take itself too seriously.
Jack Welch
The team with the best players usually does win - this is why you need to invest the majority of your time and energy in developing your people.
Jack Welch
In any bad situation you can not let yourself be a victim.
Jack Welch
