Ann
Moore is the CEO of Time Inc. She
was the opening keynote Tuesday at the Software
& Information Industry Association (SIIA) Summit in New York.

“Steering an organization through change is
hard [you need to]

• …take care of yourself
• …maintain your inner compass
• …trust is the important part [helps people to]
  • work through differences
  • take risks
  • work harder
  • keep rumors, politics, and turnover at bay
• …put the right people in the right jobs
• …diversity matters…pick people different from yourself
• …nurture healthy debate…resolving meaningful conflict makes stronger teams.” 

I especially like her last
point. While unresolved conflict weakens
teams, healthy conflict is good and strengthens teams.  

My favorite quote in this
keynote: “You can’t fear failure…I actually feel embarrassed we haven’t failed
more often.”
