This is a very good thing inside a company who can only grow through innovation. Imagine Zuck starting to become laid back and happy about what he has achieved.

Facebook would be obsolet within 1-2 years. He has to be on the lookout all the time to kill threats to his company whenever he can.

- nostrademons 14y agoYou can't innovate through fear - it kills creativity. When you're afraid, you tend to get tunnel vision and can't see beyond the threats, and everything you make becomes a derivative of them. To the extent that Google manages to innovate (and we don't always - we've caught a lot of flack for that lately), I suspect it's because of the layer of middle-management whose only job is to stand between the paranoia of the executives and the creativity of the engineers & PMs. Well-functioning teams here always seem to have a strong leader that basically takes all the shit from above and lets only the high-level direction from the executives reach the engineers, filtering out all the fear and capricious whims.
