Carley succeeded at Bell because: 1)she was put in charge of departments which were cost not profit centers and she proved they weren't contributing to the business, so - 2) she made the case to dismantle the departments. Ergo, she was a 'hero' and rising star especially as a female. She was a specialist in eliminating organizations not building the. At HP, she fired indiscriminately, and 'outsourced' and 'feminized' the executive suite (with international hires and mediocre females who lacked experience and ability.)
She was disgrace and embarrassmentto all the very competent females who successfully work and contribute to the high tech market.
