If you're looking for an explanation of what's happening at Google with the current layoffs, just watch this video. Steve Jobs' reflections about what happened at Apple provide the best explanation. It's something you'll encounter in all corporate companies.

@marksemczyszyn @obrhoff Indeed. They don’t have a product guy in charge. They have the ops guy. And that’s who Jobs chose, and it has led to massive growth – but at what cost? (I’m not going to go down the ‘Apple cannot innovate’ rabbit hole. But there have been shifts in priorities that have resulted in a different company.)

@craiggrannell @obrhoff I mean Jobs may well have changed his stance once Apple got a great angle on the personal portables. Maybe he figured ops was the way forward and there were enough product people in the fabric of the company to carry it on. However, the changes are illustrated by the keynotes. It’s robotic now, delivered by the cast of Humans.

@marksemczyszyn @obrhoff Most of these keynotes come across like everyone wants to be Steve Jobs. And I’m not just talking about Apple’s. It’s everyone. But they come across like actors. His keynotes – while rehearsed – came across as effortless and very human. What we see now feels a little soulless.
