Jensen Huang says bosses must be demanding: 'If you want to do extraordinary things...'

Yeah, the silicon slum is full of all sorts of loudmouth foreigners rappin bout what tuff guys they are.

Lemme know when “Jensen” signs up to go shoot at Ali Akhbar Terrorist or Ivan the Bad or especially his bruthas in Beijing.

Funny how he didnt do any of things after “moving here” from Hong Kong. Just availed himself of all the goodies built by the caspers over the last couple of centuries

What are you babbling on about like a fool.

I’m always amazed at so called leaders that install hurdles to invention for success rather than assist in facing the problem of the need. In many cases they are the chief failure of the endeavor. You can’t force people to be brilliant. The leader can only create an atmosphere suseptable to their efforts.

If the leader demands the methodology, then the extent of the success is limited only to the leader’s provisions, not to the limits of the inventor. It is rare when you can find a subordinate that will give you that above and beyond for the continued accomplishment of the base company. And you don’t badger him/her into attainment, you allow the free flow of the accomplishments and thus create both your own and his/her own future prosperity. A good leader should always create their own competition, not stymie it. And this is done through the thought that people don’t work for me, they work with me. And the only thing I can really do for them is take the pressure of overall reponsibility away and allow free enterprise. A horse runs best when the reins are stretched. Give them the reason, the training, the atmosphere, the horse power, the reward possibilities, and get out of their way.

He shorted the stock.

Jensen Huang says "If you want to do extraordinary things, it shouldn't be easy."

What he really means is, "If you want others to do extraordinary things, it shouldn't be easy."

Alack, people who achieve great things tend to be slave drivers. Alexander’s conquests garnered him little personal goodwill, and his family was slaughtered by his underlings upon his demise. That’s because he drove them hard, to the edge of mutiny. And as his extreme demands drove dissension even among his inner circle, he killed a number as an exemplary measure, to tamp down any further discord. Only when even this failed, and the potential for violent death at the hands of his own men had reached a critical level, did he finally relent, and mellow a little.

Steve Jobs was a visionary. He presided over four revolutions - (1) the creation of the first mass market personal computer, (2) the creation of the first mass market PC with a graphical user interface, (3) the routinization of computerized animation (during his tenure at Pixar) at a level never before achieved and (4) the creation of the first portable devices with touch driven graphical user interfaces that were as intuitive as its rivals were clunky. And through it all, he was known as a very difficult boss, abrupt and moody, prone to belittling his minions and terrorizing them with threats of firing, many of which involved actual separations from the companies he ran.

I am not a fan of Apple devices and have never bought or owned one. But the man was truly sui generis - one of a kind - in the way he made his vision a reality where others failed. And his relentless scumbaggery was, unfortunately, as integral to the success of his efforts as his exquisite personal taste, which flensed away everything that should not be part of the final product, while keeping a close eye on cost.

Exactly. They never say “We will pay more for more effort”. It’s always “Put forth more effort and you might get more money but only if you threaten to leave”. Being retired has opened my eyes.
