Yahoo had a big executive revival event the other day ith a keynote by Steve Jobs.
Quoted: What do you do when you want to inject a little inspiration into a company that needs a lot of it? Do you hold an all-day meeting of top execs where you actually outline specific goals and exhibit better leadership? Do you admit your corporate culture is a little weak and promise to focus on strengthening it? Do you trot out all the senior execs and let them talk about their concrete plans (and, better still, actually prepare them to deliver their spiel with some level of quality)? Do you do some post-lunch touchy-feely group exercises to get people talking? Best of all, if you really want to send things over the top, do you bring out an icon so beloved as to give goosebumps to explain to the troops how he managed to turn his once-beleaguered and now-soaring company around?

A good interview with Guy Kawasaki. My favorite quote/idea excerpted below:
Quoted: One last thing: If I were Yahoo, I would stick three engineers in a garage and tell them to create "Yowser." This would be world's greatest browser; it would encompasses the latest, greatest web developments: all-encompassing IM and chat, photo sharing, video, collaborative screens, Flash, social networking, whatever.
Quoted: Give this browser away; and oh, guess what, the default search engine is Yahoo's, not Google's. The features of the browser should be so good that people will not care that it doesn't default to Google. How hard could this be? A six month project if three engineers are doing it in a garage. Five years if you put one hundred programmers on it.
