Meg Whitman
CEO at Hewlett-Packard
One of the first things I did was tear down the fence and move all of our executives into cubicles. You can improve your company’s infrastructure and roll out multiple plans from headquarters, but you won’t make progress unless you win the hearts and minds of your people. Not shying away from tough problems, and increasing levels of communication at all levels of the business, is critical to ensuring that we can drive our strategy and operate as one, unified company.
