Mary,

Been in the product development business for 20 years and I can tell you with certainty that no CEO concieves, develops and markets the products him/herself. CEOs, IMO, can have more of a negative impact on engineering and marketing teams than positive. My guess is that KE asks the right questions at the right times and knows when to stay out of the way.

A CEO certainly can plot a course but there are a large number of people that are required to execute any product vision.

To placate the SYQT thread, this is what the current SyQuest management team is doing now. Making sure that their development teams and marketing teams have the right resources and ensuring that they aren't distracted. For SyQuest the challenge is the $$ resource given the coming product pricing.
