How Google Works
How Google Works | Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg
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, page-turning 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.

I actually got this book from the library because I thought it was about SEO, and since I‘m trying to provide more SEO services this year, I thought it would be a good book for me to read.

Turns out it‘s not at all about SEO, but about how Google was founded and run as a company. Since the book is almost a decade old, I‘m not sure how much of it still applies, but I was surprised at how funny and engaging the writing was. I‘m so glad I read it!

Why does Google keep offering this to me? Don't they know I can't resist a good deal on books?? And that I'm not supposed to buy any books except for what I need for my reading challenges next year???

I don't have any willpower to pass this up.

Google Play knows me so well. Lol Usually I get $5 towards any book over $5, so this is a nice change! Now...what book should I get it? #thisiswhyimbroke

LittlePixels Ooh, I need to go check it the Play Store! BTW, if you use the Google Rewards app, you can add a little to your book fund just by answering quick surveys. My balance on the Play store is currently $38+ just from Rewards. 👍 I use it whenever there's an ebook priced high enough that I can't stomach buying it with my own money. 😉 7y
WarpedSweetness @LittlePixels That's awesome! I've actually never heard of it before this. I went and downloaded it. I'm pretty excited to earn credits...which will be used for books! Lol Thanks for telling me! 7y
