More quotes by Jack Welch
Leading a big company means never allowing a company to take itself too seriously.
Jack Welch
Arrogance is a killer, and wearing ambition on one's sleeve can have the same effect. There is a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence.
Jack Welch
I wanted to change the rules of engagement, asking for more- from fewer. I was insisting that we had to have only the best people...If you wanted excellence, at a minimum, the ambience had to reflect excellence.
Jack Welch
All of management is about self-confidence
Jack Welch
The most important quality of leadership is intellectual honesty. The reality principle - the ability to see the world as it really is, not as you wish it were.
Jack Welch
Don't lose youself on the way to the top.
Jack Welch
I’ve learned in a hundred ways that I rarely regretted acting but often regretted NOT acting fast enough.
Jack Welch
A leader's role is not to control people or stay on top of things, but rather to guide, energize and excite.
Jack Welch
In difficult times your best must be hugged, loved, kissed, rewarded, paid - everything. And your worst must be the people that leave, because your best are going to take you to the next game.
Jack Welch
It's the internet like the flu - it just spreads like crazy.
Jack Welch
Stretch targets energize. We have found that by reaching for what appears to be the impossible, we often actually do the impossible and even when we don't quite make it, we inevitably wind up doing much better than we would have done.
Jack Welch
Real communication is an attitude, an environment. It is the most interactive of all processes. It requires countless hours of eyeball to eyeball, back and forth. It involves more listening than talking.
Jack Welch
The most important job you have is growing your people, giving them a chance to reach their dreams.
Jack Welch
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
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
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
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
The 3Ss of Winning in business are speed, simplicity, and self-confidence.
Jack Welch
Strategy means making clear-cut choices about how to compete.
Jack Welch
I was afraid of the internet... because I couldn't type.
Jack Welch
