My previous CEO (passed away years ago) possibly was one of the 八大金刚, he started Fairchild, AMD, Maxim Integrated Products...
The CEO had been famous at Wall Street. Never missed his number (earning always in range +/- one cent of the forecast).
A simple dictator but made every Maxim IC product successful and profitable. His employees had got paid off at this time. I respect him.
Oh-well, the time has been over. Hi-tech industry went in Fall in Post-bubble time, especially after 9-1-1.
