    Whatever you think of Marissa Mayer and her leadership at Yahoo, this lecture is an amazing window into the inner workings of a 14,000 people tech company

    What did they do for the other office of Yahoo? I am sure there were a lot of offices so how did they manage to keep everyone in the know?

    It's very interesting to see the differences between theses tech leaders. Thanks for putting all these together. There's certainly a big difference between them. Some are clearly standouts, while others not so much. It would be interesting to hold a vote or an open stack-rank them only by their presentations here.
    So far, Schmidt, Hastings, Tolia and Green hit me as a cut above.

    I understand many are upset. But honestly, logically, follow the timeline. She out of pure luck joined google. This "luck" happen stance pushed her into an executive role. People in SV are obsessed with Google on the resume -- so BAM, now she is your CEO. Vision? She mentions IN THIS INTERVIEW - she just asked around Yahoo what to do next. Literally - managing by group think.
    So. Make sure, when you hire, get someone with Google on their resume....
