"Autocratic style"
ParanoiaWhile Carly Fiorina was lauded as one of the most powerful women in business when she took the reins at Hewlett-Packard in 1999, she was never widely known as someone who opened doors for other women to succeed. Fiorina is remembered instead for her autocratic style and for presiding over a tumultuous period of boardroom clashes and cuts.
ControllingFiorina was an outsider, the firm’s only chief executive never to climb an internal rung, and the first woman to hold the title. Unlike her predecessors, former staffers claim, she avoided the cafeteria. She walked everywhere with body guards. She kept her office doors closed.
Profits > WorkersCashman, who worked at the company from 1983 to 2000, most recently in communications, said he decided to split after Fiorina arrived. He remembers spotting her at a retirement party for Lewis Platt, her predecessor. “She had a huge frown on her face,” said Cashman, who now works at an insurance company. “She wanted nothing to do with the H-P legacy. She had the dynamic of ‘I’m not going to let these white boys tell me how to run the company. It’s mine now.’” Platt, a widower who raised two daughters, put work-life balance in the company’s top three priorities, said Cashman, who said he helped run support programs for working parents. Fiorina, he feared, valued profits over people.
Primary concern of looking "strong"She doesn’t fondly remember Fiorina, though. The chief executive, she said, seemed impersonal, obsessed with productivity at the cost of worker wellbeing. “I was no fan of Carly,” Albert said. “She just took everyone to task.”
Ruthless layoffs of workersPat Pekary, the former managing director of Hewlett-Packard Professional Publishing, who worked at the company for 23 years, said authors would call her often to request an interview with Fiorina. The chief executive usually declined. “They wanted to know if Carly would give them a quote about women in engineering or how women could break through the glass ceiling,” Pekary said. “The feedback that came to me was always: Carly didn’t want to be associated with women’s rights. She wanted to be seen as a strong leader, man or woman.”
One day, she reported for a meeting in a conference room. There sat a telephone on an empty table. Pekary answered it. She remembers the voice on the other end of the line, the order: You have ten days to clear the building. The layoff matched a description of Fiorina that few have disputed: Frank, calculated, unapologetic — all business.

Strength/weakness
“Carly’s focus is a strength, and it can be her biggest weakness sometimes,” said Deborah Bowker, her chief of staff and one of Fiorina’s closest friends. “We designed the [2010 Senate] campaign as a broad critique of [her opponent] Barbara Boxer — not as a way to defend Carly — and I think she became so entrenched in the critique she was giving that she missed some of the political realities of our campaign.”
