Be the change you want to see..

Steve Ballmer, the retiring CEO of Microsoft, realised that the company wasn’t changing fast enough, despite his best efforts and on reflection, decided that perhaps he was part of the pattern he was trying to change.  “At the end of the day, we need to break a pattern. Face it: I’m a pattern,” he said.  It is a brave and honest assessment, no doubt made easier by the millions he has set aside, but still, leaving at the right time is a key step in good leadership.  It is similar to the challenge parents face of learning when to let go and just how to support an adult offspring.

So I take my hat off to him for this.
