In short, inCommon is a company founded on an education at the Oracle school of hard knocks. Which is why it's no coincidence Verkler keeps recruiting other graduates from his old company. "I need driven, results-oriented people who have clarity of thought, communicate well, and work with little management," he says. "People who are committed and dependable, and who communicate without lots of politics. There are three or four other people at Oracle who want to work for me. But I know them too well."
Verkler is a millionaire, but he is reluctant to discuss the details of his personal wealth -- or put a financial value on the kind of success to which he aspires. "Anyone can be independent with $10 million in the bank," he says. "That's low by contemporary standards. To me the real question is: How do you know when things are right? Money doesn't have a lot to do with that. It's more about what you achieve through your life's energy."
