Carly Fiorina and management
In its coverage today of Carly Fiorina's departure from HP, the New York Times writes, "[Fiorina's] charisma and aggressive, top-down leadership style made her a
highly visible personality..."
Let's hope Fiorina's firing signals the demise of "aggressive, top-down leadership" in organizations that rely on collaborative, bottom-up teamwork and integrated customer involvement in decision-making and growth.

Fiorina's personality was more like a dominating one, thus even after being a lady she cud not only survive in the business world but also became the most powerful woman.
In reference to Carly Fiorina and her "top-down" leadership style I am left in womderment.
Does she like to be on top, or does she like to face down? Top-down impies both, and both are not possible without years of Yoga.
