“Carly Fiorina, Tough Choices” a memoir. Now we know her side of the story. She sure took a beating, and I’m happy she could put her story out there.

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.
