100% this. You do not want MBA types in your company, let alone running it! I couldn't think of a worse choice for leading Google, and it sounds like he is pulling that classic MBA trick where you are getting teams to work against each other instead of for a greater mission. No wonder nothing is shipping, projects are getting culled for no reason etc. I think google will be seeing a decline that may shock many if bing/chatGPT starts seeing wider adoption.

Apple and Microsoft both run by CEO’s with MBA’s, but you could argue that they are not “MBA types”, which is fair enough, but then we’re really talking about an straw man MBA.
