In the latest and greatest hoot, the AZ Republic enlisted a couple of unknown management consultants to advise Marissa Mayer, the new CEO of Yahoo. Mayer's sin is telling technology employees that they need to show up at the office for work without first asking for their input on the mandate.
Hello! Mayer isn't just a pretty face. She rose through the ranks of software engineering to become a top executive at Google, one of the most successful technology companies in the history of the planet. Mayer is one of the people, if not the principal person, responsible for Google unseating Yahoo as the search technology that almost everyone uses to surf the Internet.
If you already know the formula for running a successful technology company it might make your new employees feel good to ask them how they feel about using it, but what do you do when they say no? Say: "Ok, fine, we'll just keep doing the things we do, failing and losing money, while Google beats our brains out."
