Revenue and profit growth are poor measures of how good a manager is.
during how much inflation, on how much new capital, and what did competitors do during the time period?
A mannequin can double revenues with enough capital.
A passive investor can double profit with enough capital.
Only a superior manager/leader can out perform peers while consuming similar or fewer resources
- scarface_74 3y agoWhich “peers” did Microsoft have during most of the Balmer area? Apple was “beleaguered” during the early years. Azure is only successful by selling into the enterprise based on relationships built during the Balmer era. Microsoft Office is their other cash cow that was nurtured during the Balmer area and Windows is still a money maker. The one big accomplishment that Nadela did was “Office everywhere”. But the iOS port was already in full swing when Balmer was CEO.
