The Leadership Letter

Real correspondence from the people running real companies — and what it reveals about leadership.

Lock The Default, Own The Front Door

When you can't win the device, win every doorway on it.

With the exception of Bixby (and/or successors): Edit based on product direction of Search/Assistant. We should add that Search within Google Assistant must default to Google and they can't promote/suggest that End Users change that. All other search access points (Launchers, Keyboards, Bixby, etc.): Google shall be the default for all search access points and Samsung shall receive revenue share for all designated and future search access points implemented prior to or during the course of the Contemplated Agreement. Suggestion: Add 'anywhere on a Core Qualified Device.'
