He criticized the company's services for competing with one another and recommended an overhaul of the ungainly corporate structure. "We lack decisiveness," he added, and "we are held hostage by our analysis paralysis." Garlinghouse got part of his wish. Yahoo! reorganized management. And it is reducing redundancies.

...even asked to contribute much and global competition wasn't that big a deal for well-paid, well-insured workers. So the last 14 years has caused a lot of serious thinking by all kinds of folks. The number of doctors who come up to me and say, I wish we had done what you wanted to do back in '93 and '94. There's an openness to considering different approaches that never would have been viewed as viable before...
