Bill says he went to Harvard to learn from the smartest people and he was disappointed and he had to drop out. They say the world changed when Microsoft's stock valuation overtook that of GM. Microsoft attributes its success to these fators: -A longterm approach -Results orientation -Teamwork and individual drive -Continuous customer feedback The secrets to Microsoft's success from its CEO are; 1.Be at the right place at the right time 2.Fall in love with the technology 3.Take no prisoners-Gates is a fierce competitor 4.Hire very smart people. 'High IQ people' is Microsoft term for the very bright people 5.Learn to survive-Gates believes, the only way to avoid the same mistake twice-his competitors arent so careful 6.Dont expect any thanks-fame and infamy are never far apart. You dont expect to be the richest man in the world without making some enemies 7.Assume the visionary position-Bill Gates is a new type of business leader. over the years,he has repeatedly shown that he is the closest thing the computer industry has to a seer 8.Cover all bases-a key ellement in Microsoft's success is its ability to manage a large number of projests simultaneously 9.Build a byte-sized business- relative to its stock market valuation, Microsoft remains a relatively small company 10.Never ever take your eye off the ball
