More quotes by Jack Welch
In every company, differentiation is never more important than it is in times of trouble, and that's the time when everyone tends to go to the well and equalize rather than differentiate.
Jack Welch
When employees underperform, a leader tells them so.
Jack Welch
Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be.
Jack Welch
One of the things about leadership is that you cannot be a moderate, balanced, thoughtful, careful articulator of policy. You've got to be on the lunatic fringe.

Jack Welch

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
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
Again, your challenge is not just to improve. It is to break the service paradigm in your industry or market so that customers aren't just satisfied, they're so shocked that they tell strangers on the street how good you are.
Jack Welch
One of the ways we'll know that Work-Out has been successful is that my style of leadership will no longer be tolerated in this company.
Jack Welch
In order to lead a country or a company, you've got to get everybody on the same page and you've got to be able to have a vision of where you're going. America can't have a vision of health care for everybody, green economy, regulations - can't have a bunch of piece - meal activities. It's got to have a vision.
Jack Welch
You got to be rigorous in your appraisal system. The biggest cowards are managers who don't let people know where they stand.
Jack Welch
