CEO & Businessmen / PDG & entrepreneurs

Nous ne sommes pas payés pour avoir raison. Nous sommes payés pour obtenir des résultats. (Roberto C. Goizueta, ex-PDG de Coca-Cola)

 

La responsabilité incessante d'un leader, c'est de supprimer tous les détours, toutes les barrières pour s'assurer que la vision est claire, puis réelle. (Jack Welch, ex-PDG de General Electric)

 

Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership. If you seek to lead, invest at least 50% of your time in leading yourself—your own purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those with authority over you and 15% leading your peers.(Dee Hock Visa Founder and CEO Emeritus, Visa)

 

Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others. (Jack Welch, ex-CEO of General Electric)

 

I think that the best training a top manager can be engaged in is management by example. I want to make sure there is no discrepancy between what we say and what we do. If you preach accountability and then promote somebody with bad results, it doesn't work. I personally believe the best training is management by example. Don't believe what I say. Believe what I do. (Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Renault)

 

I strongly believe that the responsibility of leadership is to shape the debate—to practice and project the right attributes—whether in a business enterprise, in our society, and even in our religions. (Farooq Kathwari, CEO Ethan Allen)

 

Lead and inspire people. Don't try to manage and manipulate people. Inventories can be managed but people must be lead. (Ross Perot)
