Cisco’s John Chambers: The Best Boss in America

He refuses to accept perks. He shares his company’s vast wealth with his employees. He even hands out ice cream. Who is this man called "the high priest of good management"? In this program, ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer talks with John Chambers, president and CEO of Cisco Systems, about the dynamics of his lean and highly motivated "Team Cisco"—plus pivotal experiences that have shaped his unusual management style. Other discussion points include his vision of the next generation of Internet technology and his commitment to American schools. His key to success? "You treat people like you like to be treated yourself." (15 minutes)
