Cisco CEO John Chambers disparages Chief Information Officers (CIOs) as being totally irrelevant
12:40 time mark - Berman calls out Chambers for an outburst of scandalously outrageous hubris when Chambers' with a straight face claims on the video that Cisco provides political unity to Israel.
The following video remarks made earlier this week by John Chambers right here in Midtown Manhattan, provides for your viewing pleasure all the proof that you need to determine that Chambers has been the CEO of Cisco way, way too long and needs to retire, like pronto:
5:05 time mark - Chambers predicts that CEOs much like himself (i.e. those that NEVER CHANGE) will take their companies down along with them.
8:25 time mark - Chambers shamelessly drops names in a remarkable display of both sheer hubris and unmitigated self-importance to his interviewer, the Wall Street Journal Business Editor - Dennis Berman. I mean, Chambers appears to have a fetish for naming the Prime Ministers of foreign countries.
12:40 time mark - Berman calls out Chambers for an outburst of scandalously outrageous hubris when Chambers' with a straight face claims on the video that Cisco provides political unity to Israel.
14:15 time mark - The easygoing southern gentleman facade of John Chambers cracks big time when Chambers' scowls with absolute menace on his face at his interviewer for asking what Chambers' calls a "loaded question" pertaining to Cisco's underperforming stock price compared to the S&P stock price index.
18:45 time mark - The interviewer asks Chambers to name the one thing business leaders need to know about the cloud and amazingly, Chambers stumbles and fumbles along trying to answer this simple, single question by using obfuscation and then telling the interviewer and business leaders (without a trace of embarrassment), that they should NOT even care about the cloud.
