More quotes by Jack Welch
When employees underperform, a leader tells them so.
Jack Welch
I’ve learned in a hundred ways that I rarely regretted acting but often regretted NOT acting fast enough.
Jack Welch
Leaders relentlessly upgrade their team, using every encounter as an opportunity to evaluate, coach, and build self-confidence.
Jack Welch
Getting the right people in the right jobs is a lot more important than developing a strategy.
Jack Welch
If you reward candor, you'll get it.
Jack Welch
In the future, those who are not coaches will not be promoted.
Jack Welch
Public hangings are teaching moments. Every company has to do it. A teaching moment is worth a thousand CEO speeches. CEOs can talk and blab each day about culture, but the employees all know who the jerks are. They could name the jerks for you. It's just cultural. People just don't want to do it.
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
Nothing of any importance has ever been accomplished by a pessimist.
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
People who are coaches will be the norm. Other people won't get promoted.
Jack Welch
Wright is a visionary with a great strategic mind, and he's a strong business leader with outstanding people skills, ... He's a terrific guy and will be a key force in guiding the company's future growth.
Jack Welch
Control your own destiny or someone else will.
Jack Welch
The Internet is the Viagra of big business.
Jack Welch
HR should be every company's killer app. What could possibly be more important than who gets hired?
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
Just because you are the boss doesn't mean you are the source of all knowledge.
Jack Welch
Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while.
Jack Welch
Trust happens when leaders are transparent.
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
