Yahoo really needs an internal culture of agility, listening to customers, and working weekends. She wants employees reminded of that every time they look at the logo, even if it means having a logo that's 10% less ideal.
- joshuaellinger 13y agoYeah, I think the audience for this is internal. It is her way of saying that I can and will fix this company even if I have to do every bit myself. Maybe that is what Yahoo! needs to get moving. Crazy way to run a $10B company. I think the danger sign in this story is not a sub-standard logo but what it says about her inability to delegate.
- smacktoward 13y ago> It is her way of saying that I can and will fix this company even if I have to do every bit myself. A message that I'm sure will really build trust and cohesion among the rest of the people she works with. "You people are such losers I have to do your jobs as well as mine" is not exactly a rousing call to unity.
- colmvp 13y agoIndeed. Do I really want the CEO of a company breathing down my neck everytime I'm designing or releasing something?
- keithpeter 13y ago"...and working weekends." Why the working weekends bit? Is Yahoo short of people? Can they not plan their projects? Not trolling, just interested.
