To be a leader in the tech business for any period? In a word: Yes. To be a manager, I'd agree that assembling a good team is very good. To be a leader in the technology industry requires more: some vision, real knowledge of the technology and perhaps some underlying tech principles.
Jobs and Ballmer can both lose their temper quickly, but Jobs demonstrates he has those qualities of tech leadership, while Ballmer must cleverly hiding these traits, if he has any of them. Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- Does it take much of a tech? I mean Jobs doesn't have a reputation for being a big tech guy, just a guy with a good solid vision. I've worked with managers who couldn't actually be any number of positions in the company, but knew how to assemble a good team beneath them. Another thing to realize also is that MS has never been a company with vision, they are always following others. Can anyone name an instance where they were first on the scene in a tech way? ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
