CA-Sen: Fiorina Spent “Too Much Time” on Own Image

Fiorina spent too much time cultivating her own image as CEO of HP.
Wall Street Journal on the utter failure of Carly Fiorina as CEO of Hewlett Packard:
Often, it’s in the humility department that modern leaders fail. Think of Carly Fiorina, who as CEO of Hewlett-Packard had her own picture inserted on the wall between those of the company’s iconic founders, Messers. Hewlett and Packard. Ms. Fiorina’s leadership of H-P foundered in part because she was perceived as devoting too much time to cultivating her own image, and too little to fixing the company’s internal management problems.

Ironic, no? I could understand boosting one’s image to GET into the CEO seat, but once your there roll up the sleeves.
