More quotes by Jack Welch
They were making a deal for a property that clearly was a property that we wanted to own, so we had to act, and act as quickly as we could, and make the offer more attractive.
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
In manufacturing, we try to stamp out variance. With people, variance is everything.
Jack Welch
If you can't energize others, you can't be a leader.
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
The main social responsibility for a company is to win.
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
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
Managers can waste a lot of time at the outset of a crisis denying that something went wrong. Skip that step.
Jack Welch
In the end, your integrity is all you've got.
Jack Welch
Face reality as it is, not as it was, or as you wish it were. Be candid with everyone. Don't manage, lead. Change before you have to. If you don't have a competitive advantage, don't compete. Control your own destiny, or someone else will.
Jack Welch
No one can guarantee you a job other than satisfied customers. That's the only thing that works. Nothing creates work other than products and services you provide that create satisfied customers.
Jack Welch
Simple messages travel faster, simpler designs reach the market faster and the elimination of clutter allows faster decision making.
Jack Welch
Control your destiny or somebody will.
Jack Welch
Some people have better ideas than others some are smarter or more experienced or more creative. But everyone should be heard and respected.
Jack Welch
Just because you are the boss doesn't mean you are the source of all knowledge.
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
HR should be every company's killer app. What could possibly be more important than who gets hired?
Jack Welch
I don't think environmentalists have the slightest reason to be concerned about globalization because every time you move a plant to a new place you upgrade the neighborhood. You put in global standards. You put in modern plants. And all the plants around it get improved.
Jack Welch
The Internet is the Viagra of big business.
