yes it would have been where motrola is which is ground
If Sanjay Jha has been our CEO, then Qcom would have been somewhere else. They let him go cuz he wanted to spit QTL and QCT, and now they are willing to sell the company.
Q needs more MBAs and exMilitary guys!
D00d surfs too. Ergo more qualified than PJ who can only balance on two skis.
The companies operated by engineering background CEO performed worse than business background ceo. History proves it. Qualcomm did mistake on this.
He should have been RF engineer and pursued something different to grow instead. He played it well though.
Which s-parameter reflects the qcom market cap insertion loss of 50 billion by having an excellent RF engineer as CEO
Sounds like Qualcomm has good execution. LOL
Absolutely agreed.
Here lies a major flaw in Qualcomm as an organization: we are so enamored with an engineer’s technical abilities that we conflate the ability to execute with the ability to lead. We keep promoting folks to management roles who can get a task done, but who are also woefully inadequate in terms of vision and direction. As a result, these folks do get great execution with excellent JIRA tracking on their plans with awesome breakdown on Epics, Stories, Tasks and Subtasks along with dependencies and schedules all laid out cleanly. But their plans get us nowhere because they lack one essential element—-vision. Far too many of our directors, senior directors, VPs, SVPs are just that—only great at execution, but they have zero vision, and zero ability to chart a correct new course. They have a facade of the ability to lead, but once you scratch the surface to open, there is nothing inside that can lead.
