I posted at the end of the year, along with a great deal of other bloggers, predictions of what I think will happen in good old 2007. Well one of my top 10 happened today when it was announced that Michael Dell will be coming back as CEO of the company he founded, Dell Computer Corporation. As an ex-Dell employee and a great fan of Michael’s, I think this was the only opportunity for Dell to right their ship.
One of the greatest lessons I learned from Michael was how to be an effective leader. He taught me to realize and accept that as a leader, you will not have all the answers. An effective leader is someone who can communicate their vision and hire people to surround himself with who will have the answers to turn that vision into a reality. Dell the company once had that, but as they grew so dramatically and so quickly, the environment of ownership and entrepreneurship changed causing many of the issues and problems they are dealing with today. They have an uphill climb ahead of them, but with Michael back at the helm, I for one am not counting them out.
