Carly Fiorina
Carly Fiorina successfully led one of the world’s largest and most revered technology companies through a severe industry downturn. Her track record of taking risks and making courageous decisions during times of organizational change is unmatched.

Tough Choices
Carly Fiorina served as CEO and board chair for Hewlett-Packard and was so gutsy and passionate in her leadership that Bill Hybels made her book, Tough Choices, required reading for his entire senior staff. During session two, Bill will do a live interview with Carly to hear her firsthand thoughts about some big ideas, including managing change, leaving well, and the art of possibility.

Next Steps
Process Question for Teams:
When Carly arrived at HP, they claimed one of their core values was innovation, yet the culture didn't allow change to occur ("that's not the HP way"). Is innovation or openness to change one of your church or organization's core values? If so, does it really live it out? How? If it's not, why not?
Process Question for Individuals:
Carly mentioned several "defining moments" when she had to overcome fear to move to the next level in her leadership journey. Think about your own leadership journey for a few moments. What have been your leadership "defining moments" (i.e. you overcame a fear, you took on a new challenge, you had a conversation you needed to have, etc.)?
For more processing questions like these, reserve your copy of The Leadership Summit 2007 Team Edition on DVD.
Bonus
To explore more about the unique needs of women in leadership, plan now to attend Help! I’m a Leader Trapped in a Woman’s Body, a one-day interactive forum next August.
