Microsoft CEO search: stalemate

The Microsoft CEO succession process appears to be stalled. This is a company with immense human, technical, and financial resources; the tech industry is filled with intelligent, energetic, dedicated candidates. What’s wrong with the matchmaking process?

The gist: Microsoft needs someone strong enough to stand up to the old guard still looking over everyone’s shoulder (Gates and Ballmer) – and essentially dismiss them – since the company needs to look to the future, not the past.

Good luck with that.
