Yahoo Destroying Shareholder Value, Internet Balance of Power

Yahoo's problem is a lack of leadership and it starts from the top. Jerry Yang is a good guy but he does not seem to have the interest (or competence?) to really get down and clean house. Yet that's what Yahoo desperately needs -- a micro-managing Steve Jobs type CEO that is simply not going to accept the fact that Yahoo employees working on the same projects CANNOT EVEN SCHEDULE MEETINGS WITH EACH OTHER. That's right, many meetings at Yahoo are scheduled the old-fashioned way by manually comparing calendars verbally or over 10 emails back-and-forth. Seems like nitpicking? Well this is just a fundamental example of the lack of leadership.

Anatomy of a Fine Rumor: A Microsoft Yahoo / Facebook Two-Step Aimed at Google
