Carly Fiorina Speaks Her Mind!


Ever wish you could sit down with a corporate CEO to discuss things?

Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewlett Packard (1999-2005) recently spoke at Stanford University (audio file) about her journey from being a medieval history major, law school dropout, a secretary... to the leader of one of the biggest technology companies in the world. Fiorina describes ways in which leadership in business and entrepreneurship entails developing an appetite for risk and overcoming the fear of change. Fiorina offers her own 3Cs of leadership... capability, collaboration and character.

Isn't it interesting that many executives these days want to shrink their thoughts down to only words that begin with "C"?
