	John T. Chambers 1949— - A BORN LEADER, A NEW BEGINNING AT CISCO, TAKING THE REINS
		John Chambers was raised in Charleston, West Virginia, in the 1950s, with a background that could hardly be described as provincial.
		Morgridge, the energetic, no-nonsense veteran of both Honeywell and Stratus, chose John Chambers to be Cisco's senior vice president of Worldwide Operations in the fall of 1990.
		Morgridge and Chambers also shared a thriftiness that most CEOs would balk at: Morgridge was one of the lowest-paid executives in the business, worked in a 12-by-12 office like everyone else at Cisco, and never flew first class.

		Morgridge, now chairman of the board at Cisco, caused a different kind of excitement last week at UW- Madison, and this time, there could be no doubt about his intentions.
		Shortly after Morgridge became CEO in 1988, he and other employees "literally jumped the fence," Blum said, between the company's property and a struggling elementary school to clean and paint the building, and later to install computers and mentor its students.

		MORGRIDGE: You know, my observation would be that it varies by industry and that some industries tend to be very insular and others, there is some, but I would say, as a general rule, and one of the reasons that this exists is because there's a lot of fluidity in the employees.

		As Morgridge pointed out later in the dialog, these students are drawn from highly diverse segments of the economy ranging from those in high school to individuals transitioning from welfare to work or those on Indian reservations.
		In John Seely Brown’s video presentation, he stressed the need to combine the professionalism of the “old economy” with the agility of the “new economy” into a “hybrid economy.” In this emerging hybrid the tightly coupled architecture of the old vertically integrated enterprises blend with the dynamic loosely coupled organization of the new economy.
		Morgridge also stated that anything that can make an impact upon us, such as government, is by definition not irrelevant, and that continuous dialog among all sectors of the economy is needed.
