Ursula is a badass and is the world's first Black female CEO。 Her memoir about her 3+ decades at Xerox was an up and down ride, with mostly ups。 She doesn't pull any punches with how challenging it is to be a female on the rise in corporate America。 And an African American at that! Ursula earned her coveted seat at Boardroom tables across the world--and even in the Situation Room and on Air Force One。 She is to be applauded for her tenacity, grit and her ability to work harder than anyone else i Ursula is a badass and is the world's first Black female CEO。 Her memoir about her 3+ decades at Xerox was an up and down ride, with mostly ups。 She doesn't pull any punches with how challenging it is to be a female on the rise in corporate America。 And an African American at that! Ursula earned her coveted seat at Boardroom tables across the world--and even in the Situation Room and on Air Force One。 She is to be applauded for her tenacity, grit and her ability to work harder than anyone else in the room。 Because when you're a Black female, you have to。 Everyone's eyes are on you。 I admire her greatly for speaking the truth about her failures and how she learned from them。 At times, she was harsh and abrasive and was called out for it。 Even by the CEO whose position she would eventually succeed。 But Ursula is an engineer by trade, and she gets things done。 She isn't the nurturing type and didn't change who she was (at the heart of herself) to become one of the most powerful women in business。 I'm grateful for the chance to read an advanced copy of this book, via NetGalley, and listen to the audio version on the Cloud Library app。 。。。more
