Growing Up From The Bill & Steve Show
from the lots-of-work-to-do dept
An interesting article in the wake of Rick Belluzzo's departer from Microsoft about how the company is still trying to "grow up" from being the "Bill & Steve Show". Both Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer have always found it hard to delegate, and have been trying for years to build a corporate structure that doesn't rely so much on those two personalities. Unfortunately, it's unclear if it's working at all.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
