Great to see someone at the top of a networking company gets it when it comes to quality!

I know this is an older thread, but this guy is the manager I always wanted. As most of us here. I'm a Cisco Engineer. Just looking into this product as I have heard there Support is top notch.

Super Awesome .. if you have such an inspirational mind at top .. you are effortlessly motivated

I am really liking the mindset. Such a challenge to keep quality but making the team responsible, completely is really a great , yet seemingly difficult task, challenge. The key would be the people.consistently

My name is Arista Adams i would like to be apart of this network if its posible.

[@ffreemind2000]

How many times people are so afraid to disclose something not working or partial working at the final review? One reason is afraid of messing up business target, right? Quality people should be able to articulate the "state of quality"!

[@amos083]

"Culture of Quality" is a very good idea, but keep in mind that Ken Duda owns the company he works for. Unfortunately, most companies are owned by shareholders, who only care about the increase in shares value at the end of next quarter... :-(
