Which chief executives will be out of their jobs by next year?

IT SEEMS only a matter of time before Tony Hayward is granted his wish to get his life back. William Hill, a bookmaker, is giving short odds on the BP boss’s survival beyond the end of the year after his dismal handling of a catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. He is not the only chief executive apparently destined for the door. Even shorter odds are offered on Tidjane Thiam, who faces the wrath of shareholders over Prudential’s failed bid to buy AIA, an Asian insurer. But not all bosses are in hot water for their handling of calamitous events. Sir Howard Stringer may go for presiding over years of steady decline at Sony; Apple has a terrific record under Steve Jobs but poor health may force him out.

Losing popularity, the Labor Party ditches its leader

LESS than a year ago Kevin Rudd rode high as one of Australia’s most successful prime ministers. Suddenly, his spectacular career has come to a crashing end. With his rating in the opinion polls sliding disastrously, and a federal election due soon, a panicked ruling Labor Party on June 24th dumped Mr Rudd as leader. They replaced him with Julia Gillard, his deputy. She will give a country once branded as a bastion of male chauvinism its first female prime minister.

As his support crumbled among Labor’s 115 federal parliamentarians, Mr Rudd had declared defiantly the previous evening that he would fight a leadership challenge from Ms Gillard. But the coup turned out to be bloodless. Faced with a humiliating defeat, when the moment came Mr Rudd stood aside. His colleagues elected Ms Gillard unanimously. Wayne Swan, the treasurer, will take over as deputy prime minister. …

AsiaBSDCon 2009 Plenary Talk.

Speaker:

Theo de Raadt is the project leader of the OpenBSD project, and the founder of OpenSSH. He started writing free unix tools in 1988. In 1995 he convinced a bunch of strange foreigners to work with him on a security-focused unix operating system. He lives in Calgary, and has no time for a job since the OpenBSD developers consume too much of his time. He only accepts invitations to speak at conferences if excellent hiking is nearby.

Abstract:

Twelve years ago OpenBSD developers started engineering a release process that has resulted in quality software being delivered on a consistent 6 month schedule — 25 times in a row, exactly on the date promised, and with no critical bugs. This on-time delivery process is very different from how corporations manage their product releases and much more in tune with how volunteer driven communities are supposed to function. Developer and testing laziness is mostly circumvented and leader frustration is kept to a minimum. The reasons, mechanics and social workings of our process have never been detailed outside the project, but now will be, hopefully providing some insight to others who face delays and quality issues with their own product lines.
