If you were given the opportunity to have a heart to heart chat over lunch with the one (living) business person you admire most in the world, who would it be? And why?

Bill Gates

THAT will be Bill Gates of Microsoft. There are many things to learn from him. I would like to know how he is able to develop and maintain Microsoft's brand name, how he is able to keep the organisation competitive and consistently maintain top position. It would be good to hear from him how he manages a global operation and expansion, his vision for the next 30 years and how he aims to achieve it.
