More quotes by 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

Jack Welch

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

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

Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.
Jack Welch
As a leader, you have no right to have any employee wonder how they fit in and where they are going.
Jack Welch
HR should be every company's killer app. What could possibly be more important than who gets hired?
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
Number one, cash is king... number two, communicate... number three, buy or bury the competition.
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 secret of success is changing the way you think.
Jack Welch
In the future, those who are not coaches will not be promoted.
