Quotes from the book(Straight from the Gut - Jack Welch):
1. Trying to be somebody you were not would be disaster for you.
2. Business is lot like a world class restaurant. when you peek behind the kitchen doors, the food never looks as good as when it comes to your table of fine china perfectly garnished. Business is messy and chaotic.
3. If you do not know how to lose, you will never know how to win.
4. Jack's basic management beliefs - things like competing hard to win, facing reality, motivating people by alternatively hugging and kicking, setting stretch goals, and relentlessly following up on people to make sure things gets done.
5.The greatest quality one should possess is self-confidence. Confidence gives you courage and extends your reach. It lets you take greater risks and achieve far more than you ever thought possible. Building self-confidence in others is a huge part of leadership. It comes from providing opportunities and challenges for people to do things they never imagines they could do - rewarding them after each success in every way possible.
6. You could be anyone you want to be. It is really up to you. You just have to go for it!
7. In Business, there are no black-or-white answers. There are no finite answers to many questions. What really counts is the 'Thought Process'.
