More From Andy Grove

I advise other companies' ceos, don't fall into the trap where you go, 'where's the growth? where's the growth?' where's the growth?' they feel a tremendous pressure to grow. well, sometimes you can't grow. sometimes you don't want to grow. in certain businesses, growth means you either take on bad clients, excess risk, or too much leverage.

There's increasing consciousness that a "command and control" style of management which one associates with a male model isn't necessarily what works anymore, especially with small to medium sized companies. there's increasing evidence that a more flexible management style, where responsibility is distributed up and down the line, is what works best. and that kind of management style is one that will allow individual workers more flexibility - men and women.

Today's consumers are eager to become loyal fans of companies that respect purposeful capitalism. they are not opposed to companies making a profit; indeed, they may even be investors in these companies - but at the core, they want more empathic, enlightened corporations that seek a balance between profit and purpose.
