Fortune 500 CEOs Roz Brewer, Kathy Warden and Beth Ford share their best career advice, biggest regrets and skills that shaped their success.
When I first started my career, I wanted everything yesterday. I'm a self-starter, I would start a job on day one and think, 'I know how to do this better' and be ready to take charge. But each company has their own way of doing things. I didn't always understand the processes, and patience just wasn't a skill of mine.
I came in with this plan for a larger vision, our strategy, our plan to grow talent within the company. But I spend a good amount of my time making sure that our employees are benefiting from social engagement and thinking about issues that I can influence from a legislative standpoint. I spend a lot more time in D.C. than I thought I would have to. I'm slowly realizing that I have to take my position as CEO and make it really meaningful, not just to this company, but outside of it.
I realized that setbacks really are learning experiences, you can recover from your mistake, and if you work for a good organization, the company will view it that way too. So I tend to be an early riser, I read every email I feel like I need to read, and then I see my children, move to the gym, and get a workout in. That routine has created a lot of balance for me.
