- Ideas come from everywhere. (Google expects you to innovate.)
- Share everything you can. (Every idea accessible to everyone.)
- You’re brilliant. We’re hiring. (Google favours intelligence over experience.)
- License to pursue dreams. (Employees get a ‘free’ day a week to pursue self-set projects.)
- Innovation, not instant perfection. (Google launches early and often with small beta tests.)
- Don’t politic, use data. (Use of ‘I like’ discouraged.)
- Creativity loves restraint. (Give people a vision.)
- Worry about usage and users, not money. (Provide something simple to use, easy to love. Money will come.)
- Don’t kill projects, morph them. (There’s always a kernel of something good that can be salvaged.)

Ooooo, droolworthy stuff. Except, oddly, this one:
"Creativity loves restraint. (Give people a vision.)"
I can't quite get behind that one. Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong?
I stumbled on that one too. Sometimes creativity needs restraint and other times restraint strangles creativity. And how is "Give them a vision" relevent to restraining creativity?
I've always felt like I was the little boy who noticed the king had no clothes.
Maybe the "creativity loves restraint" comes from their experience with consultants.
