NBC Universal Acquires Oxygen
Jeff Zucker, president & CEO of NBC Universal, and Geraldine Laybourne, chmn. & CEO of Oxygen Media, discuss the acquisition…
As an executive in an acquired company I have agile principles to guide my actions:
- Embrace change
- Collaborate with the customer
- Deliver value
- Remove impediments
My career has included consolidation, closure, re-organizations, relocations, down-sizings and three acquisitions. In fact, none of my former employers exist as the same entity for which I started working.
Opportunities gird themselves in risk. Game on.
My management mission has not changed.

Hygiene at Seven
Overheard at my daughter’s school…
Girl 1 – “You shouldn’t suck on toys you find in the bathroom.”
Girl 2 – “It was in the sink!”

My Neighborhood
Six years ago, I came to love my adopted Brooklyn neighborhood through the day to day experiences of my child.
The “men on the corner who blow fire”, the “pig dog”, grocers bearing candy, the diner, and the playground devoid of shade.
Our neighborhood is upscaling rapidly. Something that has improved our lifestyle and ensured we will not live here much longer.
Monday, WNYC had a panel on whether an urban middle class is still possible in the 21st century.
I can’t help but feel my life is a kind of hothouse flower.

PersonalDNA
I’m a fan of personality assessments as a kind of casual gaming. I’ve had to take them for work but never used them as a manager except as a kind of team diversion.
In that casual, don’t take it too seriously vein, my boss pointed me to PersonalDNA. They have a fun UI for teasing answers out of you, provide fun and flattering results and an interesting, abstract way of badging.
