<<CEO's are supposed to be in their mid-60's -NOT 45-50.>>

they all better take note of how one CEO in his 30s has changed the way the world will do business, or be left behind ala CPQ.

wbm...my deeply respected "comrade"...

that salutation in itself proves your point, years ago just using such a phrase would get you on some "unamerican activity" list...most in power don't remember the cold war...tremendous wisdom gap as you point out...easy to succeed, when all you know is a "free ride" to wealth, as many of the inet ceos have had..worthless companies buying other worthless companies with equally worthless inflated stock...if you look at a truly successful ceo, regardless of age, he has a firm grasp on every aspect of his company and its day to day operations...this is lacking, and is especially evident in any financial business...too many mba's.....too many "silly" theories that have been proven ineffective in practice since the beginning of time.... ALL WANT TO MAKE SIMPLE DECISIONS VIA COMPLICATED THOUGHT PROCESSES, INSTEAD OF SEEING WHAT STANDS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THEM.......just like going to an ice cream store, pondering for hours if you want chocolate or vanilla, and finding out when you get there, they are out of vanilla...thanks, keep the faith and the stability in the thread! ed. a.
