When I started Oracle, what I wanted
to do was to create an environment where I would enjoy working. That
was my primary goal. I really wanted to work with people I enjoyed
working with, who I admired and liked. |

Create
hot teams, not dull
teams. A hot team is infused
with purpose, personality, and a
great passion about doing great
things or projects together. |

You've got to give great tools
to small

Pick

them excellent tools...
so that
they are very productive in

The
indispensable employee brings
humanity and connection and art
to her
organization. She is the key
player, the one who’s difficult
to live without, the person you
can build something around. |

I
took anybody. They were a full
collection of people. They
took risks
in their careers. Some were
misfits at other places. I took
a lot of misfits in. |

it were musicians, and poets, and artists, and zoologists, and
historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in
the world...

In
creating an innovation it’s
crucial to have a
diversity of
thinking and abilities. More
than a
cross functional team, you
need a multi-dimensional team to
create an innovation which can
fundamentally alter levels of
performance or “change
the world.”

Our
hiring process is legendary. We
have hiring committees that are
checked by other committees. An
engineering candidate talks to
an average of eight engineers. I
talked to 20 people before I was
hired. I'll ask candidates who
aren't engineers how to build a
Web crawler. The right answer
doesn't matter. I want to hear
you think the problem
through, because the odds are
good that since we're an
innovative company, you're
not going to know how to do what
you're going to be asked to do.
You're going to have to figure
it out. |

One
way to think about teams is that
teams are a network organization
– a set of nodes and links –
wherein the nodes are of course
the team members and the links
are the communications channels
or primarily face-to-face
interaction. In virtual teams,
the nodes are the same – team
members – whereas the links are
primarily virtual (electronic)
and software is used to mediate
the interactions. In simple
terms, then
virtual teams = teams +
electronic links + groupware |
