...sounds so warm and fuzzy, you could almost hug it. But how does it work? A council of the top eight executives discusses all major decisions. It's rare that the entire group is in Bangalore at the same time, so the team has mastered the art of succinct e-mail for any question that comes up. Everyone weighs in with a yes or no and a line or two of reasoning. "Why waste time?" asks H.R. director T.V. Mohandas Pai. "We all know each other." And this is a company built on information. Says Murthy: "We've always thought...
...Harvard Omahans have formed a ragtag group over the years. One of us usually circulates an e-mail toward the end of the summer, inviting all the new admits to an informal meet-and-greet—my year we barely filled the host’s kitchen table, and that’s about it for regular meetings.

Some of the people I corresponded with over the following 12 hours I’d met only once, but I wouldn’t have wanted to share that nerve-shredding time, between the shots fired Wednesday afternoon...
...fencing’ as a metaphor for himself, that Zuckerberg is–or imagines himself to be–‘both social and sport, mental and athletic, and controlled yet sometimes undisciplined,’” says Greenspan in an e-mail. Interesting. But apparently ineffective: Greenspan adds that “the metaphor ultimately fails. Because rather than coming away from it with a sense of Zuckerberg’s character (however you evaluate these attributes), you are instead distracted by a true sense of embarrassment for the guy: Did he really just define...
