CAROL BARTZ: What I Wish I Could Tell My 30-Year-Old Self en-us Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 12:27:59 -0500 Knowledge@Wharton Bodine Web Thu, 20 Dec 2012 19:12:27 -0500 I'm beginning to agree on the no mentor thing. It would make sense for a female in tech in the 80's-90's not to rely too much on a mentor, because no one could have helpful experience in what was then a brand new industry. Most of the people I would look to as a mentor seem to be the last ones in their jobs. For example regional salesmen who will not be replaced by younger salesmen, but by the website of a larger company. Or small business owners who's customers were industrial firms, but the firms are shutting down 3 a year and they are not being replaced with anything. hjhjdf Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:36:02 -0500 Yeah right, she did absolutely nothing at Yahoo! She just opened her filthy mouth and spewed out BS and failed to act in any positive way to improve anything there other than to cut staff.

Success in your role is a helpful, but not necessary factor in advancing if the politics have been handled correctly. Why many women are not ceo's Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:15:00 -0500 This Bartz woman just crystalizes why not many women are CEO's. Just look at what she is talking about. She's complaining about who you should pick fights with and who not to, when to give it a rest, when to complain, when not to complain, etc. This lady is clueless. If instead women would focus on business and getting things done instead of office gossip and office politics, they would get more respect. And not for nothing, I'm tired of women complaining. Women have the exact same resources as men to do whatever it is they want in life. There are no more excuses. Women in other countries aren't even allowed to work or vote. Women here can do anything they please and then some. Veronica Thu, 20 Dec 2012 12:43:05 -0500 Smart Lady.
