Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and the biggest threat facing Google is … well, Google itself, actually. That’s according to company co-founder and current CEO Larry Page.During a rare public appearance last week (at Google’s Zeitgeist conference, in Arizona), Page said that big companies tend to be slow-moving companies, and that there are “basically no companies that have good slow decisions.” Former chief executive Eric E. Schmidt, joining Page on stage at the conference, concurred, saying “the problems at a company at Google’s scale are always internal at some level.”
Both men said that battling indecision and forcing resolution are main priorities for current-day Google, though Page and Schmidt addressed customers about more than Google’s self-facing challenges, of course. The pair expressed excitement about future and current products including Google+ and Chrome, the challenge of making sure Google is “driving the next five years” when it comes to social networking and, touching on the current patent wars, citing the need to “do new stuff rather than using the legal system to prevent [other] people from doing things.”
Page also said Google, as a trusted brand, “should stand for a beauty, technological purity of innovation and things that are important to people.”
