A few years ago Google decided to look more closely at the concept of management inside their own organization.

Today Google employs a much less “top-heavy” structure than most other organizations of similar size.
Project Oxygen was a business project that Google intended to use to train future business leaders. As part of this project, they first had to ask what makes a good manager and what are the key qualities that a good manager possesses.
