A speaker argues that collaboration matters more than individual intelligence, reflecting on how digital business has changed since the 1990s. New graduates should pursue genuinely impactful work instead of building another social media platform.
On the personal side, I would say especially coming from Stanford or Carnegie Mellon or University of Michigan, whatever these schools are, the one most important thing you have to remember is you don't need to be the smartest person in the room, even though you think you are. What really is going to be successful is when you capture what is going to be benefited from the other people that are there and that you don't have to have all the answers in doing that. That, I think takes a lot of pressure off. And because the world is about collaboration, it's not about a single person that's going off and changing the world. That's rarely ever the real way things happen. Second, in terms of mission, I would just say that we are at this amazing time. When I graduated, especially business school back in 1996 and the Internet was just coming out, it was exciting. The Internet was going to change everything. But we all went and started like digital businesses that were about entertainment, photos. These are important things, but not super important right now. The opportunities in front of you all are around to change the world and have impact in a significant material way. So don't shy away from that. And I respect the people that came out of Stanford to start Snapchat, but don't start another Snapchat.
