4. Let Lance Crosby Be Lance Crosby
Bold. Outspoken. Customer Focused. SoftLayer CEO Lance Crosby is all that and more. IBM's cloud strategy has been hit and miss. But IBM's 2013 buyout of SoftLayer sure looks promising.

In the meantime, IBM needs to stay out of Crosby's way and let SoftLayer do what it does best: Automate the cloud onboarding process for customers and partners.
