I would go farther still and say Google doesn’t need PMs — it needs a singularly bold visionary — a Satya Nadella or John Legere or maybe someone else — not a good ceo or a bad ceo; nor a polite ceo or a trash-talking tough ceo — they just need someone to yank the empire builders out and go all in on product building. Not product managing.


How did Nadella yank the empire builders out of Microsoft?


The Nadella example was meant to illustrate visionary & bold.

You’re right; my statement is not scientifically accurate


I was just curious, since it seems impossible to remove empire builders.

I fear the only thing you can do is to start a new company. But maybe there's a way to better align the incentives...
