Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed: Steve Ballmer
by Scott Edward Walker on March 29th, 2012To Our Clients & Friends: Welcome to our weekly series “Helping Entrepreneurs Succeed.” Each week, we share a favorite video of a successful entrepreneur, investor or business leader on a variety of topics. This week, we present Steve Balmer, the CEO of Microsoft and an impressive, energetic leader.
In this insighful, two-minute clip (courtesy of Stanford University’s Entrepreneurship Corner), Steve discusses company culture and the tension (i.e., the “ying and yang”) between (i) patience vs. short-term results, (ii) passion for technology vs. passion for customers and (iii) great individuals vs. great teamwork. I hope you enjoy it. Many thanks, Scott
