Intel Inside (2025): Leadership Shuffle or Medical Drama (circa 1820)? 🩺

One Enterprise, One Anatomy. At ICMG, we discovered a core truth: every enterprise—and every project—has a single, unified anatomy. Fragmented models and siloed decisions only lead to chaos. This isn’t just theory. It’s the lens that lets us diagnose and treat organizational dysfunction with surgical precision.

So… let’s apply it to the latest corporate cliffhanger.

INT. INTEL HEADQUARTERS – DAY

Scene 1: A Tale of Two Leaders.

Enter Leader 1: A brilliant technologist. Once CTO of Intel. Then CEO of VMware. Then, in a dramatic homecoming, crowned as the Intel CEO.

Cut to: Intel’s Boardroom.Months pass. Bold declarations are made. Vision slides are animated. And then—just like that—terminated.

No closure, no act break. Just gone.

Cue Leader 2: Once a board member. Famously clashed with Leader 1. Resigned in protest. But wait! In a plot twist worthy of a Shyamalan screenplay—returns as the new CEO.

Roll credits?

Not quite. First, let’s meet our Two Interim Co-CEOs, who briefly hold the reins like stagehands in a Shakespearean tragedy. Then politely retreat to their familiar CFO and GM thrones, probably muttering, “Thank heavens that’s over.”

Scene 2: Meanwhile few months earlier, at OpenAI...

Sam Altman plays ping-pong with the board and still drives the AI revolution forward. One day he’s fired, the next he’s reinstated. The company almost collapses. Then rebounds. It’s tech leadership, yes—but it’s also a masterclass in “improve management.”

Gut-driven decisions.

Boardroom melodrama.

Founder wars.
