Google's goal says Brown, is to determine precisely the amount of management it needs - and then use a little bit less. It's an almost laughably Goldilocksian approach that Brown also advocats in her book.

It is a term coined from Goldilocks, a fairy tale character. Goldilocks went to the three bears' home where she tried out everything until it was just right. For instance, she saw three bowls of soup and decided to take a tiny sip of each. She didn't like the soup in the great big bowl and she didn't like the soup in the middle-sized bowl but the soup in the teeny tiny bowl was just right.
The implication is that instead of management, this company uses the trial and error method.

Goldilocksian means "involving setting a standard with the unrealistic goal of satisfying all."
