《财富》杂志 2013-07-17
他父母都是美国第二代移民。父亲连高中都没读过,当了一辈子酒保。母亲当了一辈子家庭主妇。但是,他们告诉他,只要有梦想,努力工作,一切都有可能。于是,他从小读最好的学校,30年前前往硅谷创业。如今,他的公司已经是硅谷炙手可热的商务社交软件供应商。

    您在学校中学到的最重要的东西是什么?

    凡事都不容易。我有两个学位,一个是电气工程,一个是商业管理,因为我早就意识到,技术之外还有更多需要考虑的东西。

    您的爱好有哪些?

    高尔夫、滑雪、看体育比赛。以及,高尔夫、滑雪、看体育比赛。

    您最仰慕的商界或技术界人物是谁?为什么?

    1. 安迪•格罗夫,因为他不仅致力于发明新技术,还打造了有史以来最有生命力的技术品牌。

    2. 乔•科斯特洛,Cadence公司(全球最大的电子设计技术、程序方案服务和设计服务供应商——译注)首席执行官,他拥有难以置信的领导力,绝对是位大师。

    3. 斯蒂夫•乔布斯,他拥有独一无二的能力,能够看到未来的需求。没人跟他说去生产iPod或是iPhone,但他却能看清它们的前景。

    您最仰慕的公司是哪家?为什么?

    英特尔(Intel)、苹果(Apple),商务社交网站LinkedIn和谷歌(Google)——它们都打破了陈规,创造了全新的东西。

    您如何平衡工作和生活?

    我很尊重团队成员的时间,反过来他们也很尊重我的时间。家庭对我来说非常重要,同时我也早就明白什么时候该全身心投入工作,什么时候该闭门不出,和家人待在一起,给自己充充电。另外,拼命工作尽情玩也很重要,这是哥哥九年前给我的忠告,他说的没错。

    每个领导者都应该具备的一个特点是什么?

    沟通是基础,但激情、精力、专注和决断力也很重要。(财富中文网)

    What was the most important thing you learned in school?

    That it's never easy. I have two degrees—one in electrical engineering and one in business administration—because I realized there was more to technology than the technology itself.

    What do you do for fun?

    Golf, ski, watch sports, repeat... golf, ski, watch sports, repeat....

    What business or technology person do you admire most? Why?

    1. Andy Grove for his determination to not only invent technology but to build of the most lasting technology brands of all time.

    2. Joe Costello, CEO of Cadence, for his unbelievable leadership ability . . . the master.

    3. Steve Jobs for his unique ability to truly see around corners. No one told him to build the iPod or iPhone . . . he saw it.

    What other companies do you admire? Why?

    Intel, Apple, LinkedIn, Google – they all disrupted everything.

    What do you do to live a balanced life?

    I respect my team's time, which in turn helps everyone respect my time. My family is very important to me and I have enough experience to know when it's the right time to dedicate everything to work and when to completely shut down to be with my family and recharge my batteries. It's also important to work hard and play as hard, my brother told me that line years ago and he had it right.

    What is one characteristic that every leader should possess?

    Communication is the foundation, but passion, energy, commitment, decisiveness are all important as well.
