      From: nospam.Simon.Geddes@f1.n770.z698.fidonet.org              Jack gets a bad rapp for his "Jack attacks", and I'm not sure how well I would       have survived if I ever had to work under him. But reading "The Home Computer       Wars" the other day, it left me with a slightly different feeling - an       admiration for the man's sheer determination to win in business, and his belief       in his own business "religion".              I tried to distill out of the book the components of The Religion (according to       the book, Jack called it this himself). It included a strong focus on lean       business (sounds very modern), reducing the number of layers of command,       expecting managers to "get involved" and not just manage. He was apparently       oft-quoted as saying "business is like sex. You have to be involved".              Just wondering if there are any other closet Jack admirers, and whether they       can shed any more light on Jack's business religion?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
