The reason most geeks fail at this is because they think the answer can be found in technology, but what they always seem to forget is that at the end of the education is about people. By the way if anyone is interested in role model I'd suggest reading the book "Street Gang: the Complete History of Sesame Street" by Michael Davis: http://www.streetgangbook.com http://www.streetgangbook.com
People tend to forget today that color TV was bleeding edge tech in the 60s and what CTW did back then was amazing. I also think that anybody who wants to be a CEO should study what Joan Ganz Cooney did at CTW, and more importantly what she didn't do: She found the best creative talent out there and made it a point to not get in the way. She also made it a point to not base her organization in Hollywood, and because of many of her choices kids today are still watching and learning from Sesame Street.
