Zebraspot,

On the contrary, I think Ebbers purposely plays up his simple, country-boy background to his strategic advantage. Competitors are more likely to underestimate him. And the media is more likely to give him coverage as 'that colorful maverick" whose shaking up the telecom world.

Yet from what I've seen and read, behind his simple, low-tech demeanor beats the heart of a savvy, shrewd businessman. One who follows the maxim of always hiring people who are smarter than you are.

Regards,

Mazman
