The seemingly chaotic style in the early years of Google eventually led to a fair amount to dissatisfaction in Google’s overall progress, and was the reason that co-founder Larry Page was named CEO about a year ago.

A long time Google board member commented “He had a very clear sense of the organization he wanted to have and handpicked people to run large areas of the company and set their objectives.”
