Bob Noyce said that one of his greatest satisfactions was in “having developed a meritocracy” at Intel, “based on knowledge, not position. Position power is not as important as knowledge power.” — Robert Noyce, The Financial Times, June 12, 1990 … One of Noyce’s great legacies is his breaking out from hierarchical management norm of the times and creating a true meritocracy as well as the creation of a culture of creative failure. Today, these concepts are at the heart and soul of what made Intel and makes Silicon Valley so successful.
