Yahoo, the one-time "oracle of the internet", has had many iterations in its 30 year history - and private equity is betting that Yahoo CEO and digital media veteran Jim Lanzone can bring back its relevance. Kara has been covering Yahoo since its inception and has known Lanzone - who has had leadership stints at Ask.com, CBS and Tinder - almost as long. They discuss Jim's vision for the new Yahoo, what's going on with search, how he's integrating AI, and whether there could be another Yahoo merger or IPO on the horizon. Questions? Comments?

In light of the Yahoo CEO's decision to stop all remote employee working arrangements, Alan poses the question to Tony: "If you were a mid-level leader at Yahoo, what would you do if you had to communicate that decision your employees… but you ultimately didn't agree with it?" How do you communicate organization decisions — that you don't agree with — to your employees and still be an honest leader? Alan and Tony talk through this idea, with some potentially controversial recommendations. Tony Jackson is a leadership development consultant and coach, helping organizations turn some of their strongest people into future leaders.

Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang is about to find out that being a CEO is a lot different than being the ceremonious Chief Yahoo as he was called until last month. Yang who became Yahoo's new CEO on June 18 faces a daunting to-do list that includes reinvigorating the company closing a performance gap with Google thwarting challenges from social media sites such as Facebook delivering financial results that make Wall Street cheer and charting a course for the future. His first deadline comes in about 100 days. Knowledge at Wharton asked faculty members for advice on how Yang should handle this management challenge.
