3. In any crisis, there’s an
opportunity. It’s what you
do with it. When we think
about crisis, we think
about the bad stuff. But a
comeback? Amazing.
-Judy Smith, crisis manager (and the
inspiration behind “Scandal”)
4. DO
SOMETHING
YOU’RE
PASSIONATE
ABOUT.
LIFE’S TOO SHORT.
-Mary Barra, General Motors CEO
5. Constructive
tension is
good. If we get
everybody’s
views on
the table, we’ll
have a much
better decision.
-Mary Barra
6. THERE ARE A LOT
OF PATHS TO SUCCESS,
THERE’S NOT JUST ONE.
-Susan Coelius Keplinger, Triggit co-founder
7. I ask myself
everyday: Did I
make decisions
and do things only
I could do? If other
people can make
them, it’s not the
best use of your
time. –Ginni Rometty
8. It’s not enough to talk
about women and
girls. We have to fund
things. If you don’t put
money behind it, we
can’t create change.
–Melinda Gates
9. The thing people want most is your focus and
attention. You destroy that when you think you’re
multitasking, because you’re not accomplishing
either. –Wendy Clark, Coca Cola
10. ALL OF US CAN
IMPROVE.
EVEN IF WE’RE
AT THE TOP OF
OUR GAME,
WE CAN STILL
GET BETTER.
–MARY BARRA
