I believe I'd prove myself worthy if I were a manager in Google. I don't see a problem to live and work in organization which is completely different than those from my past. One can only learn from changing environment.<br/><br/>Yet still, I don't think the model Google has chosen to manage organization is repeatable in any given company. And Wind is a good example here. Different customers and users, different scale, different type of projects, different financial situation, different stakeholders and last but not least different people. The management model, you want it or not, has to be different too.<br/><br/>When managing different things (project, product), and especially when managing people, you can't ignore environment around you. And while I'm really impressed with One Google Management Way I think, when implemented as a copy, it would rather kill Wind (to keep the example) than helped the company.<br/><br/>Btw: I'm keen to discuss the subject so if you're interested contact me at pawel.brodzinski [at] gmail.com Why?
