《財富》500強女CEO的職場箴言
麥基?維爾德羅特 公司:邊疆通信公司 《財富》500強排名:464 ????麥基?維爾德羅特與丹尼斯?莫里森一直是企業界最熱門的“姐妹花”。兩人分別擔任邊疆通信(Frontier Communications)與金寶湯公司的CEO,并且都說自己的信心和商業頭腦是拜父母所賜。2011年《財富》最具影響力商界女性峰會上,在與姐姐一起上臺時,維爾德羅特回憶道:“每到周六上午,我們就得收集罐子,這樣我們才能得到零花錢。” ????莫里森打斷她說:“我們可以進行實物交換。”然后,維爾德羅特繼續說道:“不論我們想要什么,首先都會制定商業計劃。”莫里斯補充道:“比如,穿耳孔。為了向父親證明,扎耳孔不是三分鐘熱度,我們帶了整整一年的螺帽!”兩姐妹都說,年輕時對細節的關注、大局觀、以及創新意識,都在后來的商業規劃中起到了很大的幫助。 趣事:布魯斯?斯普林斯汀的父親在新澤西給她們穿的耳孔。 |
Maggie Wilderotter Company: Frontier Communications Fortune 500 rank: 464 ????Maggie Wilderotter and Denise Morrison are the much-discussed sister act of the corporate world. As the CEOs of Frontier Communications and Campbell Soup, respectively, the duo claims their parents are the source of their confidence and business savvy. Onstage at the 2011 Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit with her big sister, Wilderotter reminisced, "Every Saturday morning, we had jobs in jars and we were responsible to do those to get our allowance." ????"And we could barter," Morrison interrupted. "We did business plans on anything we wanted," Wilderotter continued. "Like getting our ears pierced... We had to wear screw back earrings to prove to our dad that it wasn't a fad - for a year!" Morrison added. The attention to detail, being thorough, and being innovative at a young age, the sisters say, helped them with future business plans. Fun fact: Bruce Springsteen's dad pierced their ears in New Jersey. |
