Fiorina Suggests Her Biggest Mistake Was Not Firing More People More Quickly

February 7, 2005

"Fiorina does not agree, naturally, that there's been a brain drain (at HP). In fact, she believes that one lesson she's learned while running HP is that she should have moved more quickly in ejecting certain people. Smartened up now, she says, 'I would have done them all faster. Every person that I've asked to leave, whether it's been clear publicly or not, I would have done faster.'" [Fortune 02/07/2005]
