How much does John Chambers love Cisco Systems Inc.? So much so that he’s had a hand in hiring all of the company’s 70,112 employees, save for a mere 23.
Putting aside whether or not that’s even possible, the point is clear: The chief executive officer is every bit as engaged in running the networking-equipment maker as the day he took the helm two decades ago.
