Former Google CEO and Alphabet chairman Eric Schmidt gets personal about finding success, working with Steve Jobs, his biggest mistake at Google and handling criticism.
Here, Schmidt discusses building a successful career, working with Steve Jobs, his biggest mistakes at Google and how he handles criticism.I think that anyone in my position should start by saying that luck is the first and most important thing I had. Luck of birth, education, interest, timing and the business I was in. I also worked hard, but luck is just as important, if not more important, And as you get luckier, you create your own luck.
It took a very long time for me to understand who I was, and what I was good at. It's important to become comfortable about who you are and how you behave and react, because there's so much criticism and pressure today, especially for young people.Steve Jobs, who I worked very closely with [Jobs recruited] and admired greatly, was not a normal person, by any means.
[Personally], I learned it's important to have teenagers. They're relatively unmanageable, but they need to be managed. You learn to let them do what they want until it gets dangerous or serious. Then, you have to put your foot down. Everything is fine until it's not, in which case, we have to act quickly.In building Google into a behemoth: 'We made many mistakes along the way'
[When I started at Google] I didn't understand the scale of the company, and I had no idea what was possible. I would have been suspicious if you told me [how big Google would get]. In hindsight, I wouldn't change a thing — but we made many mistakes along the way.
