Vieira: “I’ll Either Survive This Or One Day I’ll Flip Out On The Air”

By Brian 

Newsweek’s “Top Twenty Women On Leadership” includes an essay by Meredith Vieira. Here’s an excerpt:

“When I was contemplating this move to the Today show and the notion of change in my life at a time when things were very, very comfortable, it was my son Ben who sort of pushed me, nudged me, and said, ‘You tell us that change is good and that change is necessary because without it you really don’t grow. Why aren’t you taking your own advice?’ He knew that would get to me — and he was right. I’ll either survive this or one day I’ll flip out on the air while Al’s doing the weather. You’ll hear me screaming in the background.”
