We've met Grove a few times and it's hard to believe that his style doesn't permeate the corporate culture of the chip giant.
Gelsinger told me once over dinner that Grove had taken a personal interest in his education at Intel while he was a lowly staffer, encouraging his education and helping him to progress inside the firm.
Grove's departure may be considered symbolic, but coupled with the fact that Barrett retires next year too, it's indicative of a larger change in the company, with a younger breed of braves taking over the mantle.

Grove describes the influences of the overall business environment (and in particular addresses the concept of a "strategic inflection point"), the political dynamics and drama within Intel, and a candid view of what went on in his own head as Intel faced a crisis that could well have ended in disaster rather than triumph.
Andrew Grove was at the center of this company from its inception, and this is his story in his own words.
This is the core of Grove's book, and is a remarkable achievement - I vividly still recall how, in the late 1980s, we thought Japan was going to take over the PC industry - and it was Grove and his team that did it.

 10/13/97 INTEL: PARANOIA, AGGRESSION, AND OTHER STRENGTHS
Jackson's thesis is that Intel was largely shaped by the personality of one man: its brilliant, mercurial chairman and chief executive, Andrew S. Grove.
The author adds that Faggin was ''shaken by the almost medieval brutality of these words.'' Grove's sense of betrayal at defections eventually gave rise to many Intel lawsuits against former employees.
Like a modern-day Frederick W. Taylor, Grove believes that everything in management can be quantified and improved through the application of stringent methods.

 USRF - Andy Grove: Taking on Prostate Cancer
The following account by Andy Grove, Chief Executive Officer of Intel Inc. and a member of the CaPCURE Board of Directors, was published as a cover story in Fortune Magazine on May 13, 1996.
He sat me down and told me my options: surgery, radiation, cryosurgery (in which the tumor is destroyed by freezing it), and, finally, doing nothing and playing the odds.
It is an awesome responsibility for the surgeon to present the options to a patient with prostate cancer in such a way that he does not impose his prejudices which may or may not be based on the best objective information." I think we have a long way to go to reach this ideal.
