I share some of my thoughts on Steve Ballmer&#8217;s impending departure from Microsoft, and why it&#8217;s the right thing and the right time to shake things up.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m fairly certain that much will be written today about Steve Ballmer\u2019s decision to retire from Microsoft within the next year.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t normally post about so-called \u201cbreaking news,\u201d but in this case, I want to throw my two cents in as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steve\u2019s the guy that ultimately hired me into Microsoft back in 1983. To say that I\u2019m grateful for that little turn of events would be an understatement, as you might expect.<\/p>\n<p>Steve\u2019s a great guy. You probably know him in part for his \u201ccheerleader\u201d approach at assorted Microsoft events, but that\u2019s just one aspect of a very gregarious and approachable personality. In the early days, unlike most of the techy geeks around him (i.e. me), he simply knew everyone by name. That\u2019s hard enough in a 360-person company (as it was when I started), but he was still going strong when it crossed into the thousands.<\/p>\n<p>We only interacted personally perhaps four or five times mostly in those early years1, but I\u2019m fairly certain that were we to cross paths today after not seeing me for over a decade, he\u2019d still quickly throw a \u201cHi Leo!\u201d my way. That\u2019s just the kind of person he is.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/askleo.com\/on-steve-ballmer-leaving-microsoft\/\" target=\"_blank\">Article Continued Here<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><em>This excerpt appears with permission from Leo Notenboom<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ballmer2.jpg\" alt=\"ballmer\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-45420\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Leo Notenboom offers his thoughts about the end of the Steve Ballmer  (the person who brought Leo to MSFT) era.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":66012,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[125,878],"class_list":["post-45415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-leo-notenboom","tag-microsoft","tag-steve-ballmer"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
