we added a fifteen-minute segment to Noogler orientation for some people that explained the benefits of being proactive, provided five specific actions Nooglers could take to find the things they needed, and reiterated how this behavior fits with Google’s entrepreneurial mindset: Ask questions, lots of questions! Schedule regular 1:1s with your manager. Get to know your team. Actively solicit feedback—don’t wait for it! Accept the challenge (i.e., take risks and don’t be afraid to fail… other Googlers will support you).
