Resumen del Editor

Google Executive Chairman and ex-CEO Eric Schmidt and former SVP of Products Jonathan Rosenberg came to Google over a decade ago as proven technology executives. At the time, the company was already well-known for doing things differently, reflecting the visionary - and frequently contrarian - principles of founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. If Eric and Jonathan were going to succeed, they realized they would have to relearn everything they thought they knew about management and business.

Today, Google is a global icon that regularly pushes the boundaries of innovation in a variety of fields. How Google Works is an entertaining, pause-resistant primer containing lessons that Eric and Jonathan learned as they helped build the company. The authors explain how technology has shifted the balance of power from companies to consumers, and that the only way to succeed in this ever-changing landscape is to create superior products and attract a new breed of multifaceted employees whom Eric and Jonathan dub "smart creatives". Covering topics including corporate culture, strategy, talent, decision-making, communication, innovation, and dealing with disruption, the authors illustrate management maxims ("Consensus requires dissension", "Exile knaves but fight for divas", "Think 10X, not 10%") with numerous insider anecdotes from Google's history, many of which are shared here for the first time.

In an era when everything is speeding up, the best way for businesses to succeed is to attract smart-creative people and give them an environment where they can thrive at scale. How Google Works explains how to do just that.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Not bad, but not great

One needs to read the book just because it's about Google and because it does contain an occasional interesting story or tip.
But I felt the book was poorly done.
I was hoping to get more information on the difficult decisions Googlers had to make, their thinking and choices they made, their reflections on how it worked out, things they wish they did, things they wish they didn't do, and words of wisdom for future generations of entrepreneurs.
I wanted to hear more about Google Plus. Why it didn't take off they predicted it would. I wanted to hear more about Google Video, and how it later was merged with YouTube. I wanted to hear more about the monetisation models they tried, what worked, what didn't, and why what they have now eventually succeeded.
There was some of it, but very little.
Too much focus on how great Google is and only a discussion of successful outcomes.
Not a complete waste of time, some good info on how Google hires people (though mentioned their sting with riddles only briefly). But I expected much more.

Nice book!

The book is quite interesting, besides getting to know some of the inner workings of google, it also gives you good advise and examples on how you can boost your career or company.

Enjoyable and Consumable

Great points and take-aways throughout. The narrator was extremely good and made the books' substance that much more consumable.

Well told story. Actionable and entertaining.

This book was motivated because of the content. It was not written with a lot of hype, instead, a recount of the authors lives. While the book authors are Google employees, the story was bigger than that of just google. It is a culture that Google has created that creates a passion for greatness in our business culture.

Good perspectives from digital business leaders

This book provides very good perspectives from the leaders of a successful business in the digital information age. Once your industry's data is tracked and digitized, hang on for dear life. Digitization seems to be the difference between annual 2.5% improvement growth and what the authors call "10 times" improvement. I found this book insightful, and we will incorporate some of the ideas into our business.

A bit rose colored

It's a good view of one of the most important companies in the world. It's half aspirational with stories supporting an ideal state that exists in moments and half this is what worked for us.

Worth the read but needs to be held in context.
