managing in/with/around/by chaos:
                    a mozilla story

                         John Lilly, CEO
                                  Mozilla
Business today is:
	 complex,
	 messy,
	 multi-lingual,
	 continuous (24x7),
	 rapidly changing...

but also:
	 incredibly leveraged,
	 world-impacting,
	 full of learning,
	 empowering,
	 fun...
the main question I consider:

how do we operate most effectively today?
Here’s where I start:


“Nobody knows anything.”
           William Goldman, Which Lie Did I Tell?
       (also the screenwriter for The Princess Bride)
