Jensen Huang: 'Nothing Is Ever Good Enough' — NVIDIA CEO Tells Fortune He Criticizes Everything His 42,000 Employees Show Him

Fortune·medium signal

In a May 26 Fortune profile, Jensen Huang described his management philosophy as rooted in relentless criticism, saying his style was learned from his Taiwanese parents: 'To a Taiwanese parent, nothing is ever good enough, and you can't go a day without some criticism.' He applies this to all 42,000+ NVIDIA employees, describing the approach as part of what's driven the company to a $5 trillion market cap. For builders watching the AI hardware race: Huang is signaling that NVIDIA's dominance comes from culture, not just chips — a data point for anyone betting on whether competitors can replicate their execution.
