But to a surfer, you know, somehow they get, right, they can read the waves and they know how to stay on top of it.

And so I think being CEO is very similar to that.

You know, you have to learn how to surf.

In order to learn how to surf, you have to understand the waves and you have to know

be able to read the wind and you have to have good timing and you can't have any of that unless you try unless you actually do it and so so partly is is um to inform myself partly is to uh try to figure out you know what is to try to break down the problem so that the company can learn it in a way that they can do something about part of it's about inspiring other people and um

It's all those basic traits of all the people in this room.

You don't have to change your personality or your behavior when you become CEO.

It is possible for you to continue to be yourself.

And one of the things that I learned a long time ago, and I have no idea where I saw this, but the CEO or the founders

You're building a car that you are going to race.

You're going to build an F1 racer, but you're going to build it in a way that you can drive.

You should adapt the car to you.

Somebody, I think, asked me, Jensen, if you don't use conventional management techniques and organizational techniques, what's going to happen when you leave the company?

Well, you know, when I die on the job someday, you know, I told them they'll just have to reshape the company for the next CEO.

And the reason that's wisdom is because we're the F1 drivers.

You know, we're the racers.

And the world is really competitive.

And we've got to stay, we've got to, you know, we've got to win.

And we've got to achieve our mission.

And so whatever it takes to fit the car to you, whatever it takes to fit the organization to you, that's what you ought to do.
