CARLY FIORINA
PROFILES IN POWER


This page is "in process", as I am constructing, in pieces and in priorities, the profiles in power that I think are worth learning from.

Although various people have judgmental opinions about her and although every one has some areas that are not so strong, Carly Fiorina is a powerful person in many ways. And thus it is useful to look at how she operates in life to see what we can learn and possibly add to our own lives, to make our own lives powerfully better.

The source of my observations is from the book Tough Choices - A Memoir (2007), plus some observations on seeing her actually operate, is the source of my observations.  I intend to read, when it comes up on my priority list Rising To The Challenge: My Leadership Journey (2015).

Speaks very crisply, sharply, great enunciation, at a fairly rapid pace, with great confidence, speaking powerfully, and with authority and intention.

Speaks of responsibility and high ideals.

She is a problem solver. 

She is willing to confront and face up to problems - and accept the flak of misunderstanding and opposition.

She has risen beyond her own needs to the point of giving to great causes (nonpolitical ones)

She memorized a workout system so that she could do it anywhere. 

She did not get "baited" by Trump and made her point precisely, clearly, and powerfully - she thinks through her responses and what she wants to do ahead of time, until they are complete and ready to go!
