More quotes by 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
People always overestimate how complex business is. This isn't rocket science. We've chosen one of the world's simplest professions.
Jack Welch
In the end, your integrity is all you've got.
Jack Welch
The Internet is the Viagra of big business.
Jack Welch
Don't lose youself on the way to the top.
Jack Welch
Managers can waste a lot of time at the outset of a crisis denying that something went wrong. Skip that step.
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
Out-innovating them is the way to beat China. And to do everything that we do in this country to support innovative policy, that drives innovation and new products and more jobs and creates jobs. You can't - you can't put a wall up around here. We tried that in the '30s. It didn't work.
Jack Welch
It is better to act too quickly than it is to wait too long.
Jack Welch
Getting every employee's mind into the game is a huge part of what a CEO job is all about. Taking everyone's best ideas and transferring them to others is the secret. There's nothing more important.
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
I believe that in any initiative, you can't have a flavor of the month. When you believe something is profound in a company, you can not be a logical leader. You have to go to the lunatic fringe. There is no way that logic is what you need to change people.
Jack Welch
When I stop learning something new and start talking about the past versus the future, I will go.
Jack Welch
If you're a leader and you're the smartest guy in the world - in the room, you've got real problems.
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
Strategy means making clear-cut choices about how to compete.
Jack Welch
Strategy is not a lengthy action plan. It is the evolution of a central idea through continually changing circumstances.
Jack Welch
There is no straight line to a dream.
Jack Welch
Any jerk can have short-term earnings. You squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, and the company sinks five years later.
Jack Welch
When employees underperform, a leader tells them so.
Jack Welch
