High Output Management always gets recommended. How did his management work out for Intel?
2 comments

To quote Wikipedia:

> He was the third employee and eventual third CEO of Intel, transforming the company into the world's largest semiconductor company.

Looks like it worked pretty well.

Also from Wikipedia:

> He relinquished his CEO title in May 1998, [...] and remained chairman of the board until November 2004.

Care to guess when the decisions causing today's woes for Intel started happening?

I stand corrected.
He became CEO in 1987, when Intel's stock price was in the range of $0.10-0.20.

When he left the post of CEO in May 1998, Intel's stock price was ~$9.50.

A 10x return over a decade is pretty damn good.

Assuming your facts are correct, your math isn't. $0.10 -> $9.50 is a 95x return.

I think it was 100x
