I do think a founder has special permission to make sweeping changes across an organization.

You don't have to be a genius or a visionary or even a college graduate to be successful. You just need a framework and a dream.

Real entrepreneurs have what I call the three Ps (and, trust me, none of them stands for 'permission'). Real entrepreneurs have a 'passion' for what they're doing, a 'problem' that needs to be solved, and a 'purpose' that drives them forward.

We tell prospective hires, 'If you want an environment that is never going to change, don't come here. This is not the place for you.'

VMWare, as you know, remains a public company, and Secure Works is also a public company. And it's possible in the future that within the group, we could have other public companies.
