First of all, Ballmer is a very capable person. When he was young, he was the best in mathematics and won the top ten in the national mathematics competition. Ballmer is highly accomplished in mathematics and unique in economic theory, so he successfully attracted the attention of Bill Gates. At that time, Bill Gates spared no expense to invite Ballmer to join Microsoft.

However, Ballmer was questioned by many people after Microsoft, but Bill Gates has always chosen to silently support Ballmer in the rear. There is a simple reason. Bill Gates is very accurate in choosing people, and he trusts Ballmer very much. Therefore, no matter who opposes Ballmer, Bill Gates will stand up and defend him. So Ballmer has always been supported by Bill Gates. Although this matter will cause others' dissatisfaction, Bill Gates attaches great importance to Ballmer.

And Ballmer often deals with Bill Gates in his life. They are not so much the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but rather the good friends who meet every confidant and are less miserable. They have a close relationship and often sit together and talk about things. Bill Gates took a fancy to Ballmer's personality so much that he assured him of Microsoft.

In 2000, Bill Gates appointed Ballmer as CEO of Microsoft, which caused great waves at that time, but these were successfully suppressed by Bill Gates, because Bill Gates valued the potential of this person. However, after Ballmer took office, he did not make too good achievements for Microsoft, because Bill Gates, as the former CEO, has reached the peak of the company, and no matter how hard later generations try, they can't surpass it. So when others oppose Ballmer, Bill Gates will stand up and support Ballmer.
