Sundar was appointed CEO after a series of failures by megalomaniacal executives Larry had appointed/approved to various departments, including Andy Rubin, Tony Fadell, and Anthony Levandwoski. Sundar was a move in the opposite direction.

Don't forget Vic.

It's somewhat amazing how many failed, some nearly sociopathic, almost-CEOs Google had.

Ironically, Vic was was empowered to counter a similar panic an upstart more formidable than OpenAI. He brought a bold vision alright, but that's not sufficient to be a good leader.

Aren't CEOs supposed to be sociopaths? (Asking for a friend.)

Ugh

Overly opinionated people like that worked under Jobs, who was the biggest opinion setter, which made then fight for the most important things, get a pushback on the most controversial areas and not waste time with minor stuff

Take that and they start going crazy
