This is a minor point, but I like the joke she made in the beginning about her height. Not only was it funny, but I was unaware that she was 5'1", and think that makes her accomplishments even more impressive and says something about her tenacity, given that 58% of F500 CEOs are over 6 feet tall.
- skbohra123 9y agoThat was one unnecessary fact.
- aniket_ray 9y agoActually it's relevant. There is a fair bit of research about people being unconsciously biassed against short leaders.
- wslh 9y agoNapoleon and Hitler were both shorter than the average and they were powerful leaders. Looking at their place in history I am confused about the research implications. I just search on Internet and the list is very large: http://www.ranker.com/list/shortest-world-leaders-from-history/katia-kleyman http://www.ranker.com/list/shortest-world-leaders-from-histo... we cannot forget Putin!
- btian 9y agoDefinitely unusual. Most female executives are above average in terms of height too - Sheryl Sandberg, Ruth Porat, Susan Wojcicki, Marissa Mayer are all 5'8"+
- Patrick_Devine 9y agoDon't forget Meg Whitman. She's 6'1".
