I propose there are a few other key differences between us and Google (and the other guys doing great work), but it all revolves around culture. I think that is what you are saying but you are diving down to a very specific component of that culture. I would also echo your comments that the talent level is not all that different ... it is the way in whcich these folks go about their work, together.<BR/><BR/>I am constantly amazed when I visit friends who work for places like Apple and IBM at the way they work together -- not on the same projects, but for the same mission, under the same guiding principles. They all exist in a culture of innovation directed at their organizations mission. Do we do that? I think in spurts, but not as a rule.<BR/><BR/>Like I said, great post. I love the man in the mirror perspective as well.Cole Camplesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17782155934626502929noreply@blogger.com
