I think it does the opposite of not inspiring confidence. A good leader knows when they’re facing a tough problem that they don’t have all the answers for and they need help solving it. Reaching out for that help rather than trying to muddle through on your own could be the difference between success and a disaster. Not sure Larry and Sergei are the ones to give it but it doesn’t hurt to have them involved.

Reaching out for that help rather than trying to muddle through on your own could be the difference between success and a disaster." There is no reason why he would have ever needed to "muddle through" on his own. The article states Google acquired DeepMind an AI research lab in 2014 as well as the fact that Google has its own Advanced Technology Review Council. This is in addition to the insane hiring spree that the company went on in recent years where presumably they did or should have been hiring even more AI competencies. Given these things, having to call in the founders who stepped away from the company 3 years ago kind of make this CEO look incompetent.
- aatd86 4y agoI guess the founder's mindset is different from the CEO's mindset in that strategic positioning, especially when market is in flux, is second-nature to founders. A CEO getting in position after a company is well-established is often merely the "toppest" manager.
