“It was a really gradual thing, but we'd find ourselves spending more and more time on it,” says Yang of his and Filo’s newly created online directory. “It was getting to be a burden.”

Lesson #2: Sharpen Your Organization’s Goals
In 2007, Yahoo! was the setting for a major Silicon Valley shakeup. The company’s then CEO Terry Semel was ousted and replaced by its original co-founder, Yang. It was a tumultuous time for the company, which was suffering from much shareholder criticism in the face of rising competition from Google. But Yang was determined to rise to the challenge.

Lesson #3: Focus On the Inside Out
“I believe that Yahoo! is too often defined by the competitive landscape, rather than by what we can accomplish with our assets,” says Yang. “I’m determined for us to define our own path.”
Lesson #4: Give Your Business a Little Brand Aid
“Originally, it was Jerry’s Guide to the World Wide Web, but we settled on Yahoo!,” says Yang. “It is a pretty recognizable brand name.” Despite Filo’s admission that he was “not crazy about the name at first,” he now concedes that they made the right choice. “It grew on me,” says Filo, who is now grateful they selected a name that is “so memorable and that conveys the sense of fun involved in all this, the sense of adventure. This is what really distinguishes our site.”

leaders are the sales man of fun
The company's slogan early on was "Do what's crazy, but not stupid!" Yang and Filo understood the importance of creating a fun atmosphere at work. The employees work long hours, but management is all too aware of that. As such, they make sure that the work environment caters to their every need. From video games throughout to catered lunch programs, Yahoo!'s internal culture is one of the company's top priorities. Yang and Filo wanted their company to be a place where people loved coming to work, just as they did. By focusing on creating a culture that makes employees feel at home, they have begun finding many employees who prefer staying at work over going home, simply because it is more fun.
