Larry Page's Management Rules

The Story Of How Larry Page Got Forced From The Top Of Google And Came Back A Decade Later

Page eventually wrote down his rules for management:
  • Don't delegate: Do everything you can yourself to make things go faster.
  • Don't get in the way if you're not adding value. Let the people actually doing the work talk to each other while you go do something else.
  • Don't be a bureaucrat.
  • Ideas are more important than age. Just because someone is junior doesn't mean they don't deserve respect and cooperation.
  • The worst thing you can do is stop someone from doing something by saying, "No. Period." If you say no, you have to help them find a better way to get it done.

Collaborative Leadership - "SMILE Rules"

There are five simple strategies (easy to remember acronym S.M.I.L.E.) that you can use to grow your leadership power bases:
  • Bring your Smile and a positive attitude to work with you every day
  • Go the extra Mile above & beyond what you are paid for and help others if you can
  • Share your Ideas and learnings with your colleagues.
  • Share the Love - give compliments to others (in public if possible) when appropriate and blow your own trumpet (gently) letting others know of your achievements
  • Be responsible for your own Education and organise your learnings for easy future reference using a journal or tool like evernote

Buy or Rent - R2IClubForums

Buy or Rent - R2IClubForums: "You can buy a home, if You plan to live in the same city for another 5+ years. You think your job is steady or your skills will keep you employed in the same city. Don't pay more than 30% of your take home as mortgage. financially ok to take a hit in the worst case scenario. Your mortage is no more than twice the rent you pay now. Don't buy a home, if you think it will appreciate 50% in 2 years. you have to put your entire savings as down payment. it will freak you out to read about a down RE market for next 18 months."
