I have been meaning to write about this for the last few days and, sure enough, the Wall Street Journal came out with an article today talking about the fact that executives at Google are now picking their heads up to look at other opportunities. I have been finding this more and more as we are talking to executives daily. I think a lot of the executives at Google who joined it several years ago, find it to be a very different place than what it is today. That's very natural for a company with that kind of growth, but it doesn't mean that some of the entrepreneurial talent is going to stick around.
It's interesting though, because whenever Google comes up in a search I am doing as a place to look, people just laugh and basically say "why would anyone want to leave there?". In fact, they are almost looking at a candidate in a funny way if they are looking outside of Google.
In any regard, my point being that companies grow and change and the reasons someone may have joined a company four years ago may be very different than what the company has actually become today. You should never rule out why an executive may be interested in doing something else, especially when it is a CEO search.
