I’ve learned in a hundred ways that I rarely regretted acting but often regretted NOT acting fast enough.

GE's businesses turned in a terrific first quarter. Our products and services are being well received in unusually robust global markets.

I wanted to change the rules of engagement, asking for more- from fewer. I was insisting that we had to have only the best people...If you wanted excellence, at a minimum, the ambience had to reflect excellence.

Business is a game, and as with all games, the team that puts the best people on the field and gets them playing together wins. It's that simple.

I actually think that the economy has got some positives. It's got the market. It's got consumer confidence and it's got banks throwing - I mean central bankers throwing money at it around the world.

When it comes to strategy, ponder less and do more.

There is no straight line to a dream.
