Bill Gates

What's Bill Gates's strength?

I was reading the book, hard drive, last night. One of his strength that amazes me is the ability to choose the right person on the job based on performance without relationship attachment. I find this ability incredible because I would have a hard time doing that. One of his good friend has worked for his company for several years as a manager. When the company is small, his friend was able to do a wonderful job. However, when the company becomes bigger, his friend is no longer able to handle the job load and the task that demands for a big company. His friend also senses that himself is no longer the right person for this job so he quits and moves on. I look around at all my companies that I work for and I have never seen the situation above.

I realize that Bill Gates has this amazing ability to put honesty first and relationship second. He's very honest to himself and others that performance is the first priority in his company. He seems to be consistent through out his career.
