Managers of 15 shouldn't make lots of decisions. The team should come together and use decision processes to make good decisions. Manager makes sure individuals are growing and are able to contribute at that level.

I agree with you. Based on what others have said about this article, it sounds like Google doesn't agree with us.

If anything, I would go further than the "two pizza" team sizing. Teams should be no larger than 4 people, one of whom is a lead who is extremely well compensated and is held to extremely high standards, else they are shitcanned ASAP.
