Yeah, why is that one of the biggest tech companies with fingers in many pies, turning billions a quarter in profits, can't find a new CEO in a couple of days?

Yeah, why is that one of the biggest tech companies with fingers in many pies, turning billions a quarter in profits, can't find a new CEO in a couple of days? Anyone can run this kind of company, right? Right?
- venomsnake 13y agoAs Steve (Em)Ballmer showed yes. Just cannot run it good.
- jimbobimbo 13y agoThe machine may be had lost its clear coat and polish, but still prints enormous amount of money. If this is bad, then I don't know what good is. Could Microsoft do better? Sure. Is it doing bad? Hardly.
- venomsnake 13y agoWhat is good - short history of Apple 2002-2011? There is a medium ground between good and bad - mediocrity.
- jimbobimbo 13y agoBallmer is Microsoft's CEO since 2000. Yet, the company is still up and running and profitable. He lacks vision of SJ, but Microsoft's history is full of opportunities they've missed initially. Look, I'm not trying to say that Ballmer is a great superhero CEO, however, it's silly to assume that anyone can run a company like MS. There's no book or leadership school that deals with the issues of running the company of this size. He ran it for 13 years. And he did it by many - not all of course - accounts successfully. I think, he deserves credit at least for that.
