McNealy's not the point
McNealy was (is) a target because his statement is a cry for the status quo, for maintaining the complex set of assumptions, practices, and rules that have produced some serious problems that are now coming to very public light. To me, the Salon piece was not about McNealy himself, but about the roles, perceptions, and behavior of people in CEO jobs over the past decade or more. It's that one statement of his -- and the beliefs it contained -- that provided the hook to hang the story on. He may be a good guy, but he's deeply invested in a status quo that needs to be changed.
