Jack Welch advice business quotes

Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while.

Jack Welch

 

 

Great Leaders change before they have to – they create change proactively for innovation and competitive advantage. They are proactive innovators and game-changers who create paradigm shifts. They transform their organization, the markets, the society and the nature of competition.

Transformational leaders start with declaring that the future should be and breaking outdated rules. They articulate a purpose, something to stand for and commit to. And they lead transformational change by example – they live change and demonstrate this proactive behavior to all others.

Jack Welch's Approach

Jack Welch, the legendary former CEO of GE, encouraged colleagues to never stop thinking about the need for change, see change as an opportunity, and create change proactively. He advised his managers:

① Start each day as if it were your first day on the job.

② Make whatever changes are necessary to improve things. 

③ Re-examine your agenda constantly. Rewrite it, if necessary. In that way you avoid falling back on old habits.

Welch was telling employees at the factory level, "make decision yourself. If you're confident that you are right about something, don't just sit back and give in: you can change things, and urge change upon your boss."
