I Firmly Believe That Ibm's Size Can

If The Practices And Processes Inside A Company Don't Drive The Execution Of Values, Then People Don't Get It. The Question Is, Do You Create A Culture Of Behavior And Action That Really Demonstrates Those Values And A Reward System For Those Who Adhere To Them?

The More Successful Enterprises Are The More They Try To Replicate, Duplicate, Codify What Makes Us Great. And Suddenly They're Inward Thinking. They're Thinking How Can We Continue To Do What We've Done In The Past Without Understanding That What Made Them Successful Is To Take Risks, To Change And To Adapt And To Be Responsive. And So In A Sense Success Breeds Its Own Failure. And I Think It's True Of A Lot Of Successful Businesses.

I Look For People Who Work To Solve Problems And Help Colleagues, I Sack Politicians.

The Last Thing Ibm Needs Right Now Is A Vision.

Quite Frankly, I Am Not Very Comfortable In Chitchat. When I Go To Board Meetings, I Arrive Two Minutes Before And Leave When It's Over. I Don't Stay For Lunch Or Go Early And Have Coffee.
