Here's why Google went to Burning Man to find its next CEO

Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the cofounders of Google, went to Burning Man with Eric Schmidt nearly two decades ago to see if he had what it takes to become CEO. Schmidt landed the job because he proved he could cut loose at Black Rock Desert, where Burning Man is held. Specifically, Brin and Page wanted to see that Schmidt could achieve a "group flow state," to get the best work out of their employees.
