In the end, your integrity is all you've got.
Jack Welch
If you get the best people on your team, you've got plenty of time to do the things you like to do and can add more value to.
Jack Welch
A leader's role is not to control people or stay on top of things, but rather to guide, energize and excite.

The secret of success is changing the way you think.
Jack Welch
Insecure managers create complexity. Frightened, nervous managers use thick convoluted planning books and busy slides filled with everything they’ve known since childhood……. They worry that if they’re simple, people will think they’re simple minded. In reality, of course, it’s just the reverse. Clear, tough minded people are the most simple.

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
Take time to get to know people. Understand where they are coming from, what is important to them. Make sure they are with you.
Jack Welch

Jack Welch
In my lifetime, Mitt Romney is the most qualified leader I've ever seen run for the presidency of the United States.
Jack Welch
In manufacturing, we try to stamp out variance. With people, variance is everything.
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
The main social responsibility for a company is to win.
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
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
Genuine leadership comes from the quality of your vision and your ability to spark others to extraordinary performance.
