Recommendation

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and former senior vice-president of products Jonathan Rosenberg give an insider’s tour of the Internet giant. They honed their management skills creating a new kind of work environment in a company growing exponentially in a field that didn’t exist three decades earlier. They pass on some “conjurers’ secrets and translate them into accessible lessons.” This guidebook for creating successful 21st-century companies covers culture and environment, hiring, innovation, communication and decision making, Google-style. getAbstract believes this information-packed manual will please Google admirers, and leaders and future leaders of all types.

Take-Aways

  • Google’s founders set aside established business and management principles to create an entirely new work environment.
  • Pre-Internet companies built on proprietary information and scarce resources are ripe for disruption.
  • “Smart creatives” thrive in environments that give them freedom, information and resources.
