At Aol, We Thought The Killer App

Frankly, I Like New Things. I Feel Like I Made A Contribution To Building A More Interactive World. And I'm Proud Of That.

Because I Do Think - Not Just In Building Aol - But Just The World In Which We Live Is A Very Confusing, Rapidly Changing World Where Technology Has Accelerated.

I Think The More You Have A Generalist Perspective, I Think Sometimes The More You Can Kind Of See Through The Forest And The Trees. And When It Gets A Little Bit Cloudy, You Know, Have Some Sense Of, "well, Maybe This Might Happen Or Maybe That Might Happen." So I Really Am A Big Believer In Liberal Arts Education. I Think It's Better - Particularly In These Kind Of Uncertain Times - To Know A Little Bit About A Lot Of Things As Opposed To Being Expert In One Thing.

The Pace Of Change And The Threat Of Disruption Creates Tremendous Opportunities.

So You Have To Force Yourself Out Of A Comfort Zone And Really Try To Figure Out What Are The Key Ingredients, The Key Skill Sets, The Key Perspectives That Are Necessary, And Then Figure Out A Way To Attract The Very Best People To Fill Those Particular Roles.
