What drives Google?

A Q&A with Google CEO Eric Schmidt in today's Wall Street Journal on what the company looks for in new employees:

The principle that Google operates under is to hire very, very strong-willed, sort of driven persons. We have relatively little management and the management is very, very thoroughly vetted. They both have the intelligence and the history of working in high-tech, and they want to work, they want to change the world.

By actively recruiting employees who want to change the world, it's little wonder that Google has so many worldwide evangelists.
