Jack Welch Long Quotations

It is better to act too quickly than it is to wait too long.

Management is all about managing in the short term, while developing the plans for the long term.

You can't grow long-term if you can't eat short-term. Anybody can manage short. Anybody can manage long. Balancing those two things is what management is.

The best thing workers can bring to their jobs is a lifelong thirst for learning.

Managers often hold on to resisters because of a specific skill set or because they've been around for a long time. Don't.

You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range commitments, while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. Walking and chewing gum if you will. Getting it done in the short-range, and delivering a long-range plan, and executing on that.
