Losers United Airlines and American Airlines Winners 3. 4. Reignite HP. We have witnessed an amazing couple weeks. From the radical changes announced by our company, HP, to Steve Job’s stepping down we are seeing fundamental shifts and evolution in our industry. Today’s discussion will focus specifically on HP and a call to action for employees both past and present, for investors and for key leaders in the Valley. As HP employees we look forward to walking around our headquarters as well as our other sites and again feeling a sense of purpose, passion and drive in a thriving company. Achieving this requires all of us to stand up. To the HP leadership (Board and CEO staff): You have lost your legitimacy. While it is tempting to pen a dissertation as to the fundamentals we believe you have fumbled we believe the recent events speak for themselves and are indefensible for leaders at your level and receiving the level of compensation you are.
Armies of HP employees have not lost their soul. To fellow HP employees: We are 300,000 strong. To our HP customers: Léo Apotheker - My Life- Léo Apotheker for Dummies. America appears to require a manual, “Léo Apotheker for Dummies”… Do not try to understand Léo Apotheker… Stop comparing him to Steve Jobs. And give me some time… Time to explain the inexplicable, in “Léo Apotheker, My Life”, which I am working on. What can you do in the meantime? Trust Léo. He is carrying the responsibility of the future on his shoulders. One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. If Léo Apotheker doesn’t succeed in the end, we will have to classify this HP challenge in the Mission Impossibles of the 21st century, and declare that our world is definitely condemned.
A question to those who have been externalizing their anger blindly for the past weeks: Would you accept the position of HP’s CEO? In Albert Einstein’s words, Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. I am repeating myself, I know. America, open your mind!
