You Know A Good Board When You

By The Time I Stepped Down As Xerox's Ceo In 2009 - And As Chairman In January 2010 - Xerox Had Become The Vibrant, Profitable And Revitalized Company That It Still Is Today. What Made The Difference Was A Strong Turnaround Plan, Dedicated People And A Firm Commitment From Company Leaders.

Boards Without Women - Blacklist Those Suckers. It's 2011. They've Had The Time - It's Significant That They Don't Have Women.

When You Have That Window Of Opportunity Called A Crisis, Move As Quickly As You Can, Get As Much Done As You Can. There's A Momentum For Change That's Very Compelling.

I Have Zero Tolerance For People Who Don't Come Completely Prepared. I Expect Contribution, I Expect Attendance, And I Expect Directors To Take Trips And Visit The Company's Programs.

When I Became Ceo Of Xerox 10 Years Ago, The Company's Situation Was Dire. Debt Was Mounting, The Stock Sinking And Bankers Were Calling. People Urged Me To Declare Bankruptcy, But I Felt Personally Responsible For Tens Of Thousands Of Employees.
