More quotes by Jack Welch
If you're a leader and you're the smartest guy in the world - in the room, you've got real problems.
Jack Welch
The hero is the one with ideas.
Jack Welch
The story about GE that hasn't been told is the value of an informal place. I think it's a big thought. I don't think people have ever figured out that being informal is a big deal.
Jack Welch
Companies don't give job security. Only satisfied customers do.
Jack Welch
With leadership the question at the beginning of the day is, 'how far can we take this...how big can we grow it...and how fast can we get there?'
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
Cash is king. Get every drop of cash you can get and hold onto it.
Jack Welch

Jack Welch
Don't make the process harder than it is.

Jack Welch
Business is a game, and as with all games, the team that puts the best people on the field and gets them playing together wins. It's that simple.
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
Trust happens when leaders are transparent.
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
The 3Ss of Winning in business are speed, simplicity, and self-confidence.
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
I don't feel under-taxed in any way at all.
Jack Welch
