Jack Welch Quotes

A plan is always successful if the plan is good.

Vision without execution is hallucination.

Having a great idea is simply not enough. The eventual goal is vastly more important than any idea. It is how ideas are implemented that counts in the long run

Our visions are the plans of the possible life structure, but they will end in plans if we do not follow them up with a vigorous effort to make them real, just as the architect's plans will end in his drawings if they are not followed up and made real by the builder.

A goal without a plan is just a wish.

I'm very much a creative person, but you've got to do the follow-through. A lot of people start out with an exciting thing and they want to take over the world, but really the people who do take over the world have a good plan of how to get there and the steps along the way.

It's important to have a sound idea, but the really important thing is the implementation.

I had ideas. A lot were good, but in many ways, I had no idea or experience about how to carry them out.

There are dreamers and there are planners; the planners make their dreams come true.

Good ideas need good strategy to realize their potential.

Having just the vision's no solution, everything depends on execution

What makes success is not your genius idea, but the execution and follow-through around it

Success doesn't necessarily come from breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone won't win a game or a battle; the win comes from basic blocking and tackling.

Once you articulate an agenda, you have to follow it.

A great idea is not enough.

We've plotted through the years of how to get to here, where we are now, or we would have never made it.

I think having a great idea is vastly overrated. I know it sounds kind of crazy and counterintuitive. I don't think it matters what the idea is, almost. You need great execution.

The way to push things through to a finish effectively must be learned.

I like big thinkers who, no matter how big their vision, can sit down and talk to me about hour-to-hour, day-to-day type stuff they do to move the ball forward.

Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.

Failing to plan is planning to fail.
