On corporate life: I think now, with what we’re seeing with mobility, we’re going to have a totally different concept of what it means to go to work.
On management: You always have this problem of being surrounded by “yes men” and people who want to predigest everything for you. In the old organization, you had to have this whole army of people digesting information to be able to feed it to the decision maker at the top. But that’s not the way it works anymore.
On intellectual property: It’s not so much the question of what’s owned or what’s not owned. It’s a question of how can you leverage the assets you have to realize the most value.
On scarcity: We have to look at today’s economy and say, “What is it that’s really scarce in the Internet economy?” And the answer is attention.
