Seeding breakthrough thoughts
,----[ Quote ]
| Thereâs also Bob Young from Red Hat Linux -
| a legendary figure and company hero-
| worshipped by many in the computer
| industry. From Youngâs accounts over
| sessions that totalled 10 hours, Martin
| describes in The Opposable Mind the
| obstacles and contradictions the former had
| faced.
|
| Young was realistic enough to accept that
| to be sustainable, a revenue stream must be
| created for Red Hat. He also realised that
| companies were willing to pay for goods and
| services, including software. However, they
| must be reassured the vendor company will
| be around in the years ahead.
|
| Youngâs competitors were formidable â
| Microsoft, which wanted to control the
| server operating system market, and the
| different Linux distributions. Through
| integrative thinking, Young focused on
| getting Red Hat to be seen as the market
| leader. He decided on a move which
| astonished everyone â he encouraged
| companies and users to download Red Hat for
| free! However, they would have to pay for
| future services; like in upgrading the
| software.
|
| The free downloadings resulted in Red Hat
| being tabulated in industry statistics and
| records as the leader in server operating
| system. It brought prestige, credibility
| and trust among businesses, with many
| deciding to use Linux rather than Windows
| for their servers. Youngâs unique decisions
| and solutions from the opposable factors
| propelled Red Hat into the big time, and he
| became a billionaire upon the companyâs
| IPO.
