Larry Page became chief executive of Google again in April 2011. Kristen Gil, Google’s vice president of business operations, then published new rules for meetings in the company’s online newsletter Think Quarterly. “Every decision-oriented meeting should have a clear decision-maker, and if it didn’t, the meeting shouldn’t happen.”
Such meetings “should ideally consist of no more than 10 people, and everyone who attends should provide input.” Gil wrote: “Most importantly, decisions should never wait for a meeting.”
In January 2012 Business Insider reported the rules under the headline “How Larry Page Changed Meetings At Google After Taking Over Last Spring.” Reports often credit the rules to Page. The published text was written by Gil.
