Carly Fiorina Knihy

Focusing on practical leadership strategies, this book emphasizes the importance of addressing immediate challenges while fostering an environment where team members can thrive. It guides readers on how to identify pressing issues and implement effective solutions, ultimately empowering individuals to contribute to collective success. The approach encourages leaders to cultivate a supportive atmosphere that promotes growth and collaboration, ensuring that everyone can achieve their potential.

At last, Carly Fiorina speaks for herself. The controversial Hewlett-Packard ex-CEO starts at the beginning, which means that anyone interested in her perspective on the HP/Compaq merger and her subsequent firing should skip straight to chapter 20. Nevertheless, her full story is important. Willingly or not, Fiorina remains a role model for women in business. The devil is in the details - in this case, her breathlessly earnest descriptions of the inner workings of various AT&T business units (not as interesting as all that precedes and follows), and numerous slightly preachy digressions on the challenges and virtues of leadership (her leadership, of course). Despite these flaws, or perhaps because of them, Fiorina reveals herself as a human being who cries, takes risks that don't always work out and agonizes over difficult decisions. She introduces a kinder, gentler woman to readers who may know only her ruthless reputation as reported by outsiders. getAbstract thinks this memoir makes fascinating reading for managers at all levels.

Exploring the journey of personal growth, this book encourages readers to embrace their potential and strive for self-improvement. It emphasizes that regardless of current achievements, there is always room for development and transformation. Through insightful guidance and motivational insights, it inspires individuals to recognize their capabilities and take actionable steps toward becoming their best selves.
