Positive OutlookApproves of CEO
Pros

Amazing manufacturing. Large sales force and global reach. Solid benefits.

Rich Templeton is a good CEO and human being.

Cons

TI has become a manufacturing company. Innovation within the product line is challenging. Constant turnover in the sales force means relational capital is hard to obtain with customers.

Advice to Management

Almost all PLM/BU leadership positions are promoted from within. This seems like the right thing to do for employees, but it also breeds "yes-men" and groupthink, since those who are promoted are getting there by way of working within the system and its process metrics. New ideas and approaches can be integrated from external hires.
