Jack Welch: In his own words

“Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be.”

“There’s no such thing as work-life balance. There are work-life choices, and you make them, and they have consequences.”

“Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.”

“I’ve learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.”

“Number one, cash is king...Number two, communicate...Number three, buy or bury the competition.”
