Eric Schmidt
Former chief executive and executive chairman of Google and Alphabet; earlier chief executive of Novell and CTO of Sun Microsystems.
How Google Works describes the management model Google ran at scale - hiring for learning rate, small engineering teams holding decision rights, and strategy derived from a technical insight rather than from market research. Trillion Dollar Coach records the specific coaching method Bill Campbell used with executives at Google, Apple and Intuit, including how he ran meetings and handled founder-CEO conflict.
