More quotes by Jack Welch
There are only two sources of competitive advantage: the ability to learn more about our customers faster than the competition and the ability to turn that learning into action faster than the competition.
Jack Welch
You talk about seeing around corners as an element of success. That's what differentiates the good leader. Not many people have it. Not many people can predict that corner. That would be a characteristic of great leaders.
Jack Welch
Failing to differentiate among employees — and holding on to bottom-tier performers — is actually the cruelest form of management there is.
Jack Welch
When I stop learning something new and start talking about the past versus the future, I will go.
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
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
In the end, your integrity is all you've got.
Jack Welch
The biggest opportunity for big companies has come by far in the digitization of internal processes.
Jack Welch
If we don't create private sector jobs and just - just creating public sector jobs, we're going nowhere. This is a bad game. You've got to have innovation. You've got to have tax policies that support innovation.
Jack Welch
No one is doing something in your business - getting a sale, having a key customer, working on an R&D project - doing anything that's more important than something you say is going to change the company.
Jack Welch
The main social responsibility for a company is to win.
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
Trust happens when leaders are transparent.
Jack Welch
People who are coaches will be the norm. Other people won't get promoted.
Jack Welch
Hierarchy is an organization with its face toward the CEO and its ass toward the customer.
Jack Welch
I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.
Jack Welch
Ninety-nine point nine percent of all employees are in the pile because they don't think.
Jack Welch
If you reward candor, you'll get it.
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
Don't lose youself on the way to the top.
Jack Welch
