Its probably good to wait for the honeymoon to pass before you drop this dosage of reality but ...here goes (i'm always the buzz killer)
So I need you to be the new CEO ... but.. here's the thing, the old CEO will kind of be your boss (on the board) and the founder of the company will kind of be an employee ..but don't worry this is your company to run...and you run it the way you like...and we'll just be here...hanging around...watching you....every move....you make... Imagine having that as your job.... - Microsoft. As long as those two linger, I just can't but help think this poor bastard doesn't really have a fair fight on his hands? ...he's gifted andy who have worked for him will raise their hands and state out loud "he's good Microsoft" but at the end of the day its alway a little "business as usual". Even his speech to employee's kept the same tone you'd typically see at a variety of Microsoft conferences ...I think you need that external influence to break the Microsoft culture circuit... someone who hasn't got a history lesson attached, someone who looks at the whole concept with an eyebrow raised and questions like "why?" ... I also think that this CEO position was supposed to be the Windows Vista release or the guy who played Bond after Sean Connery ... they are supposed to absorb the change "I dont like it" moments but meanwhile you hold back on the real good(s) for the real "change" to come ..which is the Windows 7 release... "Same shit, just different UI" .. "Same problems, just different face.." :) --- Regards, Scott Barnes http://www.riagenic.com On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 10:07 AM, ILT (O) <il.tho...@outlook.com> wrote: > I read about 8-10 "IT press" articles about Nadella yesterday, and a few > are looking for the controversy - usual for any media reporting, I suppose. > > Additionally, it's ramping up significantly in areas that Anthony > identified as "the future" (e.g. cloud-based products/services) > > As I read it, Nadella's roles over the past few years have been achieving > exactly that.
