“You can stay too long in a job, that's for sure. But by the same token...” — Jeffrey R. Immelt Quote

“You can stay too long in a job, that's for sure. But by the same token, in the 12 years I have been CEO of GE, there have been four CEOs of Toshiba. So there's too short a time to do it, and there's too long a time to do it.”

“I have learned that nothing is certain except for the need to have strong risk management, a lot of cash, the willingness to invest even when the future is unclear, and great people.”

“As one of America's largest exporters, GE remains committed to producing more products in the United States, which is our home and largest market.”

“When the CEO makes a decision, people don't come back on it.”

“When you're a CEO, if you've got something that can be handled down in a sales office or by a customer service rep, the CEO doesn't do it. You don't have to tweet about it. You just get it done. You serve your customers and then the CEO can focus on the biggest, hardest problems.”

“The President is the CEO of this business that we call America.”
