“LINUS Torvalds would make a lousy dictator, and it’s hard
to imagine him as a corporate chief executive.”
“I was curious about what it took to guide a movement that
started off as anything but a crusade. Torvalds’ answers were
illuminating…”
“Leadership in the Linux universe is “getting people to trust
you enough that they take your advice,” says Torvalds…”
““Good leadership is always a matter of making people want to
do things because of their own reasons rather than due to any
external pressure,” he says.”
“Keep the word “trust” in your mind. It imbues everything
about the Linux process as it has developed over the past decade.
And in an era where technology is having such a massive impact on
everything, it speaks to the way leadership itself must
evolve.”
