A lot can be drawn from watching the initial moves of a new CEO. In Carly Fiorina’s case those moves were building an empire and driving a fast path to becoming the largest company, as well as the most visible CEO, in the segment. Both goals were achieved, but afterwards Fiorina lost focus and ultimately, she lost the job. Mark Hurd is clearly a different kind of CEO; his background would indicate a 180-degree difference from Fiorina.
"Hurd is not seen as a "vision guy" but is lauded on his ability to gain and maintain the loyalty of his staff." You are kidding right? Since he has joined the company his main priority has been to lay off staff and move all of Qualifications support to India to save money. Staff moral and loyalty are at an ALL TIME LOW.
