When Google debuted on the stock market in August 2004, it had a lean 10 executives at the top. Over the last four years, the number of senior managers kept pace with the growth of the stock. Until recently, when for the first time in the company's history, the ratio of executives to stock price became less than 10:1. The opposite of lean? Bloat.
