Who is a CEO anyway? I have talked to a few business guys and answers varied from "salesman in chief" to "just an administrator with connections". In that regard there is really nothing to hold on to if you are a product guy. The article implies that CEO is the "product guy" though. I wonder who is right.
- pg 19y agoA CEO is, in theory, what the name implies: chief executive. He makes the final decisions. If two subordinates disagree, he breaks ties. That said, I don't think Eric Schmidt is actually Larry & Sergey's boss. They seem to work more as a triumvirate. But that is a fairly unusual arrangement. I believe it's a transitional phase between outside management coming in as CEO and coming in as COO, which I believe is going to be the most common plan in the future.
