From Aaron J. Seigo thoughts about KDE on Windows: "The life blood of a platform are applications, and that applications spring forth from developers. Therefore the most valuable resource for a platform are active developers".
Replace platform by software company.
I blog this because I think there are too many companies out there which don't understand this. Full ack with Aaron, but I would like to point on last words: "active developers". Active is important in this sentence. What you need are motivated, well educated, open minded, passionate developers.
Update: not surprising that someone else who cares about product development management came the same day to the same conclusion than Aaron: "Too many celebrity CEOs believe they are doing a great job when they cut costs (frequently people) so that Wall Street reacts well. All too often, short-term stock price gains comes at the expense of the long-term growth of the company.". Read also the last paragraph about CEO success.
