My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they're having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society. As a world, we're doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead, not follow that.

You can try to control people, or you can try to have a system that represents reality. I find that knowing what's really happening is more important than trying to control people.
