I found this to be inspirational!
I have being a Mac user since System 6 on a little Apple II. I started my development career on 4D a mac only database back in 90's. And I have being a Web/Database Developer ever since and I am really grateful for what apple has provided me so far.
I always found Apple and Steve Job to be inspirational and have always supported Mac even when no one around me used them, because I do find that company to be true to their words
"Think Different"
That inspiration has now gone to Mozilla! Apple still makes great products, but it has already lost it's soul and it hasn't found a new one yet! (Revisit, Steve Job, Stanford Speech please!)
This is not apple's fault. This usually happen with company that had a super charismatic and powerful leader and when that leader leaves or die that leaves a big gap in the company.
“We need leaders who can lead in any situation,
with or without positional authority,
with or without formally allocated decision rights,
with or without designated followers,
with or without an approved set of traits
and characteristics,
and often in conditions in which there is no
agreement as to what the right answer is.”
(Granger, 2009)
Granger is a female captain in the us military that lead her group out danger and was awarded many metals. Her words really resonated with me now more than ever!
What we need now is for everyone in the company willing to take leadership. Like this intern at Mozilla.
So thanks Mihnea.
- mihneadb 13y agoThanks for the kind words! I would say Mozilla is in good hands and it seems to me that it's getting better and better.
