Says former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. She says leadership comes with a price, which is why it is so important to have a strong internal compass.
In a candid address at the Global Business Forum in Sydney this week, Fiorina talked about the principles of leadership.
Claiming leaders are made, not born, she said there is nothing more draining than witnessing a person compromise to achieve a goal.
"Principles are important. When you come to those moments and you are about to compromise - don't," Fiorina said.
"Do not sell your soul. There are plenty of opportunities to sell your soul in life and if you do, nobody will ever pay you back.
"Keep your soul and be in control of your own choices, that is what life is about."
