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
If you don't have public hangings for bad culture in a company, if you don't take people out and let them say, they went home to spend more time with the family. It's crazy.
Jack Welch
You have no right to be a leader if someone who works for you doesn't know where they stand.
Jack Welch
Getting the right people in the right jobs is a lot more important than developing a strategy.
Jack Welch
We know where most of the creativity, the innovation, the stuff that drives productivity lies - in the minds of those closest to the work.
Jack Welch
Take lack of candor. ... I'm not talking about boldface lying, but a tendency to withhold information. That behavior is far more common, and it frustrates teams and bosses to no end.
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
Strategy means making clear-cut choices about how to compete.
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

Jack Welch

Jack Welch
If you reward candor, you'll get it.
Jack Welch
Just because you are the boss doesn't mean you are the source of all knowledge.
Jack Welch
Every leader makes mistakes, every leader stumbles and falls. The question with a senior level leader is, does she learn from her mistakes, regroup, and then get going again with renewed speed, conviction and confidence?
Jack Welch
Cash is king. Get every drop of cash you can get and hold onto it.
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
If we get the right people in the right job we've won the game.
Jack Welch
The best way to support dreams and stretch is to set apart small ideas with big potential, then give people positive role models and the resources to turn small projects into big businesses.
Jack Welch
The hero is the one with ideas.
Jack Welch
Management is all about managing in the short term, while developing the plans for the long term.
Jack Welch
