Balmer was a terrible CEO by nearly every measure, but the one that stands out for me is the culture he cultivated where team members would actively undermine one another just for a better performance review.

Balmer was a terrible CEO by nearly every measure Steve Ballmer has an estimated net worth between $130 billion and $145 billion, consistently ranking among the top 15 wealthiest people in the world What other measure is there?

I worked under him. We gamed the system by doing a round robin of bad reviews with the understanding the next review will be a huge improvement.
