Jack Welch Quotes on Strategy

5 quotes

  1. There are advantages to being the chairman. One of my favorite perks was picking out an issue and doing what I called a 'deep dive.' It's spotting a challenge where you think you can make a difference-one that looks like it would be fun-and then throwing the weight of your position behind it. Some might justifiably call it 'meddling.' I've often done this-just about everywhere in the company.

  2. Getting the right people in the right jobs is a lot more important than developing a strategy.

  3. Business success is less a function of grandiose predictions than it is a result of being able to respond rapidly to real changes as they occur.

  4. Be number 1 or 2 in your business or get out.

  5. Change before you have to.
