[Phynaz]

GlobalFoundries Inc., announced today that its board has appointed Motorola's Sanjay Jha the company's next CEO. Jha, whose role as CEO begins immediately, served as CEO of Motorola Mobility Inc. (now part of Google), and COO at Qualcomm.

Former CEO Ajit Manocha will help with the transition but is returning to his role prior to becoming CEO in mid-2011.

Ajit Manocha is undoubtly a very smart process engineer
but not a manager.

Jha quickly diagnosed the situation, but, rather than just issuing orders, he worked within Motorola's engineering culture, where good arguments can carry the day as long as people get to air their views. Jha met with top executives and others and personally reviewed key projects. He took the time to build trust and support. He rallied and focused a demoralized organization.

Sounds like a good manager to me...
