That is not for want of energy, of which the boss of Cisco Systems has plenty. It is because he is a proud and enthusiastic user of his own company’s technology. Since 2006 Cisco has been selling a system called TelePresence (pictured above, with Mr Chambers holding forth), which turns awkward videoconferences into pretty lifelike encounters. He pulls all-nighters to talk to customers and colleagues in Europe and Asia. Meet Mr Chambers in the flesh, and the small talk lasts for about five seconds, until he asks: “What do you expect from this conversation?” If he seems to have no time to waste, no wonder. He does not only have a huge company to run, but he is also reshaping it. During the dotcom boom Cisco was hailed as the leading light of the “new economy”, being the supplier of most of the gear guiding data through the internet. In early 2000, when its market capitalisation peaked at nearly $550 billion, it was briefly the world’s most valuable company. But a year later, like other technology giants, it was hit by what Mr Chambers calls the “hundred-year flood”. Cisco did not drown, but much of its stockmarket value was swept away (see chart 1).
