Yahoo Overhaul Needed Says Senior VP
November 21st, 2006 by pamela
It makes some really significant points regarding Yahoo! recent acquisitions, internal politics and staffing, saying that focus must be regained, accountability and clarity of ownership restored and a radical reorganization of the company be undertaken.
No doubt this has put the wind up some employees and share holders, but it can surely only be positive; Yahoo! has bought so many competing companies recently that it is fighting against itself, and according to Garlinghouse key staff have jumped ship leaving behind a mess of bureaucracy, unaccountability and a lack of passion.
It’s all pretty damning stuff and should this be taken to heart, as I’m sure anyone worth their salt in the upper echelons of Yahoo! would feel compelled to do, then we are in for a Yahoo! rather different from the one we know today.
It is the same old story of a company expanding quickly and trying to be all things to all people. At least Garlinghouse has had the guts to tell it like he sees it, no matter how difficult the coming months might be.
What do you think? Straight down the line tough talking or shameless self promotion?
