What both of these quotes have in common is they describe a company that didn’t let people do their jobs. Yahoo acquired a number of successful companies, with a track record of success and buried them in micro-management, bureaucracy and administration. They didn’t leave them to do their jobs. This is the lesson to sales leaders and everyone else at that matter. Hire good people and let them do their job.From http://asalesguy.com/2010/12/20/what-yahoos-situation-can-teach-sales-leaders-and-everyone-else-at-that-matter/
Great article by John Battelle on why Groupon might just be Google's fiercest competitor to date. I pretty much agree with his analysis wholeheartedly.
