I Think Values Are Really, Really Important,

When A Manufacturing Company In Spain Looks To Ibm For A Solution To A Problem, They Expect Us To Bring The Best Of Ibm Worldwide To It, Not Just The Experience Of Ibm Spain.

When I Arrived At Ibm, There Were 'team' Signs All Around. I Asked, 'how Do People Get Paid?' They Told Me, 'we Pay People Based On Individual Performance.

If Ceo Compensation Was Performance-driven, Which I Believe It Was In Ibm's Case, Nobody Would Ever Argue. If The Shareholders Didn't Make Billions And Billions Of Dollars, I Wouldn't Make Millions Of Dollars. My Salary Was The Same For 10 Years. It Was All Performance-based.

A Lot Of People Saved Ibm. Yes, I Was The Leader Of That Team But I Could Never Have Done It Without A Group Of Ibmers Helping Me.

My Parents Worked Enormously Hard To Put Four Children Through College. We Didn't Have A Lot Of Money.
