Readers may take different things away from this book about the rise and fall of the former CEO of Hewlett Packard. I was reminded of how tough we make things for executives, but often even more so for a woman executive. Female executives and the male executives who lead them may find some interesting insights. She captures the challenges and choices she made very well, with a personal touch and without whining, and apparently without a ghost writer. Nice job.

For the cliff notes version on her firing, check out the interview with Leslie Stahl here.
