More Praise for How to Castrate a Bull
“ How to Castrate a Bull is two memoirs: one of
Dave Hitz and another of the company he created.
It tells of how Hitz founded and helped
to grow one of the world’s greatest technology
companies, playing a key role in shaping the
strategy and culture of NetApp through its early
growth, the technology bubble, and into the new
millennium. His story illustrates how a brilliant
founder can stay with a company—playing a crucial
role in keeping entrepreneurship alive even
as the firm becomes huge and successful. This
book tells the human side of that story, made all
the more real by the memoir it records of this
remarkable person. A must-read for those who
delight in seeing genius in action.”
— Bill Barnett, Thomas M. Siebel Professor of
Business Leadership, Strategy, and Organizations,
Stanford University
“ Lots of lessons for entrepreneurs, execs, and ordinary
managers from the founder of one of Silicon
Valley’s most successful companies. Dave Hitz
peppers his tale with light-hearted anecdotes and
powerful insights. He’s done an especially good
job at describing how NetApp has created one of
the country’s most resilient workplace cultures.
Highly recommended.”

Companies to Work For” list, and cofounder of
