Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard discusses "Tough Choices," telling her own story, along with her unique perspective on leadership, technology, globalization, and sexism.

At age twenty-three, Carly Fiorina was a law school dropout who had no idea what to do with her life. Twenty-two years later, Fortune named her "The Most Powerful Woman in Business" and she was recruited to be chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard - the first female CEO of a Fortune 20 company - with a mandate to shake things up.

The Facts don't lie: When HP's Board fired her, the company stock skyrocketed.

Ms. Fiorina says "values are what guide your behavior when no one's watching and you don't think anyone will ever find out." I remember a voicemail made public of hers to the CFO, Bob Wayman, where she told him to make sure Deutsche Bank understood that if they expected to do business with HP in the future that they had better reverse their vote on the Compaq merger. Ethical? Dave & Bill turned over in their graves on that one, I'm sure... She is such a hypocrite.

and u r soooo smart....

[K Spencer]

Wow, so are you related to Carly? Cause you obviously didn't work underneath her...

[K Spencer]

Yea, she probably read it in a book and plagiarized it for you..

[K Spencer]

Me too Plume, I was part of Compaq when HP acquired us and we all felt the same way as you do, she ruined our company and HP, and got a $20 million severance when she was fired.. She epitomizes the greedy at top level management in business today..

[vikramaLP]

.......but what she says is true.....if a Manager/employee is a star performer BUT Walks over the emotions and efforts of supporting team members or subordinates.....this kind of a person should be shown the exit if he/she does not improve his/her attitude, and take his/her business elsewhere.....

[vikramaLP]

While she was in a power ......she looked like a MILF now she looks like a GILF!

[Silicondoc]

Yes, because of course the very person she claims to be here is the person she is, so when she left, the CRIMINALS and ACCOUNTING FRAUD LIARS could take over once again, hence, the stock immediately rose. :-) Glad to agree with you, YOU FUCKING IGNORANT MORONIC SHOE EATING FOOL.
