However, he also had to make a serious decision when at one point he had to lay off 15,000 employees. And the result? Motorola has got up and once again become a leader in its industry. For example, the quality once again become a key word in Motorola, analysts promoting stocks Motorola and the company's products became the market leader again. But Galvin has not been completed. He himself said, "It's all a journey, not a destination." He plans to continuously update and develop the company to make it more effective.
