Fast Company Interviews 3 Intel Rockstars
October 16th, 2009
Intel Executive ‘Rockstars’ have made the cover of this month’s edition of Fast Company, and the magazine has taken an in-depth look at how the company that pays my wage has transformed itself during one of the worst economic times of our generation. Of course, I am biased, but this is an article that’s worth the read. My favorite line harkens back to the days of Andy Grove:
“It was former Intel CEO Andy Grove — decidedly not quiet when angry — who was famous for his “silver-bullet test”: If you had only one bullet left for your competitors, which one would you shoot?”
We’re beyond the ‘silver-bullet test’ in my opinion – focusing on flawless execution and amazing technology rather than chambering that bullet.
