Larry Page on knowing when to push a team or stop
JosephJacks_ · x · 2026-08-23
Larry Page shares three principles on determining when to push a team for speed and when to stop:
- Learn the constraint yourself: Before demanding more speed, deeply understand the physics, tech, or software limits yourself (e.g., figuring out why building a data center takes long).
- Let the deep dive decide: After diving deep, the technical reality will reveal whether pushing harder is feasible.
- Avoid pressure without evidence: He avoids pushing just for the sake of it; if there's no evidence to support acceleration, he stops applying pressure.
