Directors of microsoft

To win over the long haul in a fast-changing market, though, a leader must relentlessly out-innovate competitors. Experienced women and men should be on every board of directors to help guide the often younger executive teams. But sometimes this can be a severe handicap. They seem to have a better handle on the pulse and the trends of the IT market. Two thoughts cross my mind. First, Microsoft might no longer be exciting and reputable enough to attract top talent.

Second, and worse, Gates and Ballmer seem to be controlling Microsoft as their personal playground — avoiding bringing in most capable directors who might eventually threaten their positions. Of course, if you really did chop up the Borg, as I recommended, this whole issue would naturally resolve itself.
