No, this is not a reference to me but rather an article in the NY Times about Cher. It’s curious that this article about Cher came out the same week the FT put out a special magazine “Women at the Top – The Top 50 Women in World Business”. That women reach the CEO suite is notable, maybe that women get to the top in show business is not so newsworthy although enduring as Cher has is certainly worthy of comment.
Both the Cher article and the women in the FT magazine offered some valuable tips – stuff we know but always nice as a refresher. Maybe you can guess which came from Cher and which came from FT?
- Know your own limits.
- Women succeed better in a positive ecosystem rather than an ego-system.
- Some crimes are cool and some crimes are uncool – it’s better to be a heroin addict, go away to rehab than to be caught for shoplifting.
- What you don’t know is so much more important than what you do know
- You learn more from bad than good experiences
- Where you are is not who you are
Whether it is Cher , Andrea Jung, Irene Rosenfeld or Ursula Burns , they are inspiring ,as are all of you women who are a success in your own right.
