| schestowitz[TR2] | I worked at IBM from the time of John Opel (1981-85) through current CEO A.Krishna and all others in between. I think Sam Palmisano was the "best" of this group, by virtue of his management style (actually did respect employees back then) and business results. An honest opinion from a long time former employee who actually met the man on several occasions. | Sep 05 06:05 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Read the lists from the posts below. What do all of the business leaders have in common? I would say it’s “respect for the individual”. | Sep 05 06:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | As folks said if you take care of your employees, they will take care of your customers. | Sep 05 06:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It’s just that easy. | Sep 05 06:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Where did IBM stray from that path? I would say under Gerstner especially after the first three years under his leadership | Sep 05 06:05 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM founder and CEO for decades TJ Watson Sr and then his son JR for 57 years. They DEEPLY LOVED IBM employees. During tough times they would have engineers NOT BE LAID off but build new plants, sweep floors, paint bldgs etc. Anything but layoffs as they knew first hand the devastation to the mind and health and families lay offs did. | Sep 05 06:05 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | A lack of product knowledge is far more about how IBM “trains” its “SMEs”. A handful of videos and a couple stand and delivers for example - don’t make you an expert in enterprise level software that takes people years and years to become SMEs with. | Sep 05 07:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IBMs thinking: “just do these two level 3 Tech Seller classes, and once you pass your stand and deliver, you’re ready to run a PoC.” | Sep 05 07:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It’s a F’ing joke and I feel terrible for all the people that IBM puts in front of customers who have no business giving a PoC. I’m guessing they do this to make people leave. | Sep 05 07:20 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | c could have seen coming a mile away? It’s happening habitually in IBM Albany. And they just reshuffled and put in charge of a new project to lead to another eventual failure. Rinse and repeat. | Sep 05 07:20 |
