One of Rockefeller's greatest achievements which is not mentioned is the creation of the modern corporation. Rockefeller and his partners were the first ones to pioneer the management of a huge enterprise much of what is taken for granted

To read about Rockefeller try "The Titan". Ever since this book came out in 1997, it has been my favorite business biography followed by Icon "Jobs".

Its a sad day when the founder is ousted. I wonder why Vmware is in trouble. I can't imagine it is because of Greene. I think virtual machine technology has great potential.

Love this article. About 7 years ago, I found a friend who was completely focused on becoming a better leader and we both tried to improve together. It has made a huge difference.

I like to stick to US wines. Why pay foreigners when American wines are just as good.

I am a wine lover especially the red wine. I try to go to the wine store with a wine list but what does one do when none of the items are on the list. This is where one is in trouble. I have sometimes bought expensive wine thinking it might

Reminds me of John D. Rockefeller's agreement with shippers.Gates must have studied history. Regardless, ultimately Microsoft lost the US antitrust lawsuit and is no longer dominant in the era of the Internet. Much of the money he earned wo

Have a long conversation with Steve Jobs. Steve was in the same situation in 1997. I still recall the video conference with Bill Gates on the giant screen. All mac users felt that Jobs had betrayed them by signing a deal with Microsoft but

Try asking the people who are on your site what they want? Why they are here? Give them some incentive to respond and/or recommend their friends.

I wonder if Bill knew details of windows as much as about Excel. We'll never know because people who write kernels can't write as well as Spolsky.

Maybe the only thing I can tell you on quick review is to allow gamers to somehow display their games, their score etc. Maybe they should be allowed to display their games on their profile including videos. Possibly it could develop into so

I think this is more of a leadership problem than anything else. I think one of the goals of a leader is to create an environment in which people feel good about bringing their ideas to the forefront. They shouldn't be punished for being ou
