For a leader, he is the perfect role model and example of what not to be as a pathetic and incompetent executive. Is he past taking education related classes or does he just pretend he is too busy and the classes don't work for some [03:59] schestowitz[TR2] one of his rank at IBM ? We all know it's do as I say, don't do as I do when it comes to Alvind and Krabanaugh.

Needs to play the politics to survive the MS game and even get the promoted a few times after many layoffs' cycles. Why work when you can cruise. Work smarter and not harder. If I am ever out, my bank account is fat, in great shape from daily gym and relaxing routines. Don't sell your health out for money.
