Carol Bartz Manage Quotations

I manage through a sense of humor. We all work hard, and work has to be a really interesting, fun place. And that has to start at the top.

The way you manage your company and the way you manage your people has to be totally different.

I became a sales manager at Digital Equipment, promoted from within the sales team. My peers were less than excited that I had gotten the job, especially one of my male peers who said he just wasn't going to work for a woman.

My first day as a manager was at Digital Equipment in Atlanta. I was a sales rep. I was promoted from among my peers, so one day I was a peer, and the next day I was their boss.
