Michael Dell’s Working Day
My name is Michael Dell. I’m a chairman of Dell Computer Corporation in the US. For about 30 percent of my time I travel
30
overseas and meet international customers. Each year I make two or three trips to Europe and two trips to Asia.
When I am at my home in Austin, Texas, I get up at 5:30 a.m. each day. I live with my wife, Susan, and our four children, who are all under the age of ten. My wife owns a clothes shop in Austin.
In the mornings I do exercises for an hour from 6:00 a.m. and then drive to my office.I arrive at 8:00 a.m. At the office I talk to customers and make plans for the organization. I leave the office at about 6:15 p.m. and have dinner with my family. I read stories to my children and get them to bed. I often spend time in the evening writing e-mails. Then I go to sleep, get up and do it all again. In my free time I like to go running and biking.
