It's been mentioned in the middle of a couple threads, but I think it is worthy of it's own thread.

It is a very good article -worth the read.

Nice one marieC,

had not seen it yet.

The challenge is negotiating the tension between risk and caution. When Rosing started at Google in 2001, "we had management in engineering. And the structure was tending to tell people, No, you can't do that." So Google got rid of the managers. Now most engineers work in teams of three, with project leadership rotating among team members..

and .."Google proposes an almost joyous antidote to mediocrity,.."

must really be a fun place to work.
