1.

Ideas come from everywhere

Google expects everyone to innovate, even the finance team

 

2.

Share everything you can

Every idea, every project, every deadline -- it's all accessible to everyone on the intranet

 

3.

You're brilliant, we're hiring

Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin approve hires. They favor intelligence over experience

 

4.

A license to pursue dreams

Employees get a "free" day a week. Half of new launches come from this "20% time"

 

5.

Innovation, not instant perfection

Google launches early and often in small beta tests, before releasing new features widely

 

6.

Don't politic, use data

Mayer discourages the use of "I like" in meetings, pushing staffers to use metrics

 

7.

Creativity loves restraint

Give people a vision, rules about how to get there, and deadlines

 

8.

Worry about usage and users, not money

Provide something simple to use and easy to love. The money will follow.

 

9.

Don't kill projects -- morph them

There's always a kernel of something good that can be salvaged
