When I read that I knew this guy would fail as MS CEO. It's a proper jungle out there and a humble Indian guy will be eaten alive by the aggressive confident westerners.
- avenger123 13y agoI think most will ignore your comment for what it is but I want to respond. He didn't become CEO because he played it nice. I'm sure he's been as aggressive and mean when he's needed to be to advance himself and his work. It's humbling because out of the many many top candidates he got the job. It's humbling to be considered at that level among your peers and be picked. I would venture to say that he mixes the best of east indian tradition and western tradition. The board is filled with very capable people, especially John W. Thompson. He was the CEO of Symantec and took that company from its early beginnings to a major player. Time will tell if this was a right pick for CEO but I believe that most will be very happy with the choice as its a good contrast to what Steve Ballmer was.
- overgryphon 13y agoIt's humbling not to be chosen, but to look at the task set out before you and realize how small you are in comparison.
- skannamalai 13y agoIt must be comforting to view the world so simply. All it takes is some stereotyping to knock your world-view right back to how you like it.
- darkrabbi 13y agowhat a ridiculous comment, please never post again.
- jtheory 13y agoOr maybe they could just, you know, try to post something more considered next time.
- amaks 13y agoThis is racist. Anyway, Satya should be having elevated political skills, by being able to climb the ladder that high.
