-----

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. And then her story really gets interesting. - Books Inc.

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.

@johnsax1445 Facts are best measured when you calculate in all parts. Let us start at the beginning when Carly was appointed CEO for HP and then watch what happened after that. What does the charts show you? When Carly was appointed the share price was, what? When Carly ended her career at HP the share price was, what? Don´t forget to calculate in changes in share volume. If the share price was worse of after Carly Fiorina ended her CEO position than before her appointment, you win.

She is the female version of Louis B. Gerstner. These people are nothing more than parasites, talking frog shit. Firing good, long serving employees, whilst pocketing a personal fortune and destroying the ethics of a company. These people have no soul.

Carly Fiorina looks like as beeing the twin sister of Mark Hurd ... hurt.

Must be of the same "blood-line" of all the bladibladibla puppet on strings leadership technocrates.

Everybody who had to deal with, or was directly affected by these "Entities" knows the TRUTH

fucking have to watch this for school...

The buisinees commeunity and corporation will have to change attitude and policies for the future. No one and I mean no one is worth the multi million dollar salaries and bonuses they earn. The bottom end employees are just as important. Imagine if we could outsource ceo's and vp's to china and india.

[allanhill1]

She is the epitomy of big buisiness in Ameerica. The US buisiness model provides for the shareholders and top level execs. The regular everday employee is of zero consequence. Air Canada CEO for example earned in excess of $80 odd million but outsourced to India the customer service clerks. Please dont tell me he coulntd have accepted a few million less and kept the emplyees here working. As usual his success in profit building by outsourcing scored him the salary. PIG !!!!!!! They all are

[NobbyKNobbs]

She was an awful CEO of HP.

@Plumecloud

She might has a bright side, one of her initiatives were really justified (EDS Acquisition). She would have shined

if shareholders accepted her proposal. Though HP did after her discharge.

[jpandyaraja]

@Plumecloud and what have you got to say about what followed.......?.....the sugared goodbye deals etc etc

.........but off course Carly is an articulate intelligent woman .......some thing that must never be allowed to

become a CEO .........Thats what riles people like you.............

@katty2trips

I work for HP in Lyon France, the corporate tax bracket is two times more than the states, my medical insurance is paid a 100% by HP, training is mandatory, my salary is 12% in real terms that I used to live in the states. Why HP does not outsource their work force in France ? I will tell you why , because the goverment from France, will ceased the company operation inmediatly. Not bad for a "Socialist Country "That protects their citizens against abusive corporations.
