Ibm Needed - An Enormous Sense Of

Never Confuse Activity With Results.

If Ceo Compensation Was Performance-driven, Which I Believe It Was In Ibm's Case, Nobody Would Ever Argue. If The Shareholders Didn't Make Billions And Billions Of Dollars, I Wouldn't Make Millions Of Dollars. My Salary Was The Same For 10 Years. It Was All Performance-based.

What I'm Trying To Do Is Deliver Results, Not Promises; Results, Not Vision; Results, Not Concepts. The World Is Cynical About Ibm's Promises.

It Is Not About Bits, Bytes And Protocols, But Profits, Losses And Margins.

Every Now And Then, A Technology Comes Along That Is So Profound, So Powerful, So Universal, That Its Impact Will Change Everything. It Will Transform Every Institution In The World. It Will Create Winners And Losers, Will Change The Way We Do Business, The Way We Teach Our Children, Communicate And Interact As Individuals.
