Chris Anderson, head of TED for 25 years, announced he will step down and seek a new steward for TED. He believes in empowering others, citing past successes from giving away TED's content and brand, leading to increased engagement. Anderson asserts TED remains financially stable despite a pandemic dip and aims to leverage collective creativity for its next phase. He emphasizes that relinquishing control can foster fresh perspectives and innovation, encouraging new ideas that can propel TED into its next chapter.
"It seems like a bonkers idea, except everything that's happened to TED since I've been overseeing it has happened when we let go of something."
"When you give someone else control of something, you're giving them the motivation to do their best."
"I think it's time to try the same thing again. Let go and be amazed."
"Despite the perception that TED is past its prime, I say that the organization is in good shape."
