Another Thing I've Observed Is How Critical The Role Of The Ceo Is When A Technology Truly Is Disruptive. In Looking Back On Companies That Have Successfully Launched Independent Disruptive Business Units, The Ceo Always Had A Foot In Both Camps. Never Have They Succeeded When They Spin Something Off In Order To Get It Off The Ceo's Agenda. The Ceos That Did This Had Extraordinary Personal Self-confidence, And Almost Always They Were The Founders Of The Companies.
