Jack Welch -- General Electrical CEO:
"Establishing integrity and never wavering form it supported everything I did through good and bad times. People may not have agreed with me on every issue -- and I may not have been right all the time -- but they always knew they were getting it straight and honest. Arrogance is a killer and wearing ambition on one's sleeve can have the same effect. There is a fine line between arrogance and self confidence . Legitimate self - confidence is a winner. The true test of self confidence is the courage to be open to welcome change and new ideas regardless of their source. Self confident people aren't afraid to have their view challenged. They relish the intellectual combat that enriches ideas. They determine the ultimate openness of an organisation and its ability to learn."
