Making Lemonade: Coping Strategies for Corporate Stresses

Carol Bartz, Autodesk

Carol Bartz, CEO of Autodesk for many years, underlines the silver lining for many stagnating issues in the workplace. Making a plan for yourself is a good idea, but don’t let it limit your scope. By bringing value to the organization, you are the one to benefit most. Learning is the most critical aspect of any job; if you’re not growing, it’s time to uproot. She also points out that bad managers are great teachers, as they are instructive in what not to do when you finally get to fill their role.
