More quotes by Jack Welch
Stretch targets energize. We have found that by reaching for what appears to be the impossible, we often actually do the impossible and even when we don't quite make it, we inevitably wind up doing much better than we would have done.
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
Some people have better ideas than others some are smarter or more experienced or more creative. But everyone should be heard and respected.

The 1980s will seem like a walk in the park when compared to new global challenges, where annual productivity increases of 6% may not be enough. A combination of software, brains, and running harder will be needed to bring that percentage up to 8% or 9%.
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
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
I believe social responsibility begins with a strong, competitive company. Only a healthy enterprise can improve and enrich the lives of people and their communities.
Jack Welch
You can't behave in a calm, rational manner. You've got to be out there on the lunatic fringe.
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
Strategy means making clear-cut choices about how to compete.
Jack Welch
If you've got a company that has a mentality inside that is filled with searching for a better idea every day, not just as a slogan but as a real concept, you will have innovation around you all the time.
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
When employees underperform, a leader tells them so.
