More Google Employees Are Losing Faith in Their CEO's Vision
Arguably, Google&#x27;s best CEO was Eric Schmidt. He&#x27;s the one that turned Google from a startup into an awesome tech company. But nobody ever accused him of having no vision. That&#x27;s because vision was not his role. That role was for both founders who acted in a duo CTO role.<p>Looking at Google today, they have a CEO but no CTO and the founders seem to be not involved in day to day strategy of Google. So, the real problem is that their current CEO is not filling the CTO boots very well and that&#x27;s a problem because there is no CTO. It&#x27;s showing. Google&#x27;s strategy is fine from a financial point of view but less so from a technical point of view.<p>A bit like MS under Balmer. In fact, Google is starting to act a lot like MS a decade ago; including being arrogant, increasingly isolated, and somewhat tone deaf. I like them a lot less than 10 years ago. Of course Balmer added a whole other level of surreal to the mix that is thankfully missing here. Looking at MS today, they turned things around quite a bit and their current CEO is in an entirely different league than Google&#x27;s CEO. That&#x27;s the problem they need to fix. He&#x27;s alright but not great. They need great. Pichar isn&#x27;t. That&#x27;s what those numbers are saying.
