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.

What do all of the business leaders have in common? I would say its respect for the individual. [06:05] schestowitz[TR2] As folks said if you take care of your employees, they will take care of your customers. [06:05] schestowitz[TR2] Its just that easy. [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 [06:05] schestowitz[TR2] 11 hours ago by Anonymous [06:05] schestowitz[TR2] | 2 reactions (+2/-0) | Reply [06:05] schestowitz[TR2] Post ID: @as+1m1pbc1cm [06:05] schestowitz[TR2] +3 [06:05] schestowitz[TR2] Ken Olson, founder of DEC, was light years ahead of Arvind in engineering talent and people skills.

Theyll get a new thick resist to tackle bow, but never ask the basic question: how are we removing it downstream?, and what tools can actually handle it? [07:20] schestowitz[TR2] You have engineers whose very debatable success 1015 years ago are now making major technical and business decisions, while their favorite underlings just yes-man them instead of challenging anything. Theyre basically cosplaying as industry experts and business leaders, and constantly falling flat on their faces. How many projects have failed because some ridiculously basic issue popped up that anyone with a little logi [07:20] schestowitz[TR2] c could have seen coming a mile away? Its 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.
