Jack Welch on Leadership

Jack Welch is “classic” but always to the point. Here is a summary of his 5 traits of leadership:

The first essential trait of leadership is positive energy – the capacity to go-go-go with healthy vigour and an upbeat attitude through good times and bad.

The second is the ability to energise others, releasing their positive energy, to take any hill.

The third trait is edge – the ability to make tough calls, to say yes or no, not maybe.

The fourth trait is the talent to execute – very simply, get things done.

Fifth and finally, leaders have passion. They care deeply. They sweat; they believe.
