How a single hiring decision changed Google's fortune?

When hearing about google, the popular names that come to mind must be Larry Page, Sundar Pichai or Sergey Brin but you're wrong. In 2000, Google's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, interviewed Eric Schmidt for the CEO position. Schmidt was initially reluctant to leave his executive role at Novell. This interview changed the future of google as the contribution of this person led to astonishing progress! 

Both the founders tested Eric's technical knowledge and they realised his potential instantly! They made him an offer and he joined the firm as CEO. Under his leadership, Google touched new heights by launching valuable products like Gmail, Google Maps and Android. This single hire became one of the biggest turning points in Google's journey to dominance! 

A decision holds immense value of either building an empire overnight or destroying it within a blink! The type of decision you take matters!
