If someone had made me CEO of Mozilla in 2006, Firefox would still have at least 25% market share. (Right now, it has about 9.76%).

It’s not because I am so brilliant, but rather because all that 25% market share required is not doing stupid things rather than doing anything particularly intelligent. Unfortunately, Mozilla couldn’t stop themselves from doing a vast number of utterly moronic, relentlessly stupid things, so they are where they are today.

A brilliant CEO could have had them at 50-60% market share. They had enough money and influence to do that but they squandered it all. I know I would not be a brilliant CEO is why I would have not been able to do better than 25-30% market share. But I do very much know I would’ve avoided 90% of the obviously-idiotic mistakes, and that goes a long way.
