Zitat des Tages von Denise Morrison:
At Campbell's, we're listening to consumers. We recognize that real and healthier food is better for our consumers and our business. Our goal is to be the leading health and well-being food company.
I think of feedback as constructive, not positive or negative. You choose to do what you want with it.
The single most important ingredient in the recipe for success is transparency because transparency builds trust.
Women often are so focused on getting their jobs done well that they forget that building relationships is a key part of being a leader - and increasingly so, the higher you go.
Health and wellness does mean different things to different people.
Don't just let your career happen to you.
I describe my career path as a zigzag, not a ladder.
The best thing you can do as a leader when people are pressed is get the obstacles out of their way.
I think leadership is service and there is power in that giving: to help people, to inspire and motivate them to reach their fullest potential.
I do think the position I play is a powerful position.
It is not about finding a work-life balance, but, rather, it's about work-life integration. I've learned to integrate my work and life so that the two exist as harmoniously as possible and priorities can be set.
My mother taught us that ambition is part of femininity and really taught us to have substance but also style.
When I was a manager, I was incredibly results-driven - on a mission at all times.
Not every great idea needs to be Campbell-generated. It's clear that partners and vendors and other external sources will generate innovative ideas for us.
The top principle for disruptive and sustaining innovation is that it has to have a laser focus on customers. Innovation begins with their needs and expectations.
Sustainability is important because we all are responsible to nourish our planet. And real food should be delicious, safe, affordable, and accessible to all. All without compromise.
For me, if I knew that I wanted to be a CEO and I set that final destination right up front, that helped me develop a career track.
Being an iconic food company can be both a blessing and a curse. It can be a curse if, amidst change, you maintain the status quo. It is a blessing if you leverage the change coupled with capability to seize new opportunities.
People are literally tracking everything. People are becoming more empowered and knowing what's going into their body.
When I was growing up, my father helped kindle my passion for innovation and technology. He was a high-ranking executive at AT&T and used our family dinner table as a focus group.
We are exploring creative models to pursue innovation outside the confines of our normal process, taking calculated risks and learning from them.
I'm from a generation of women that shattered the glass ceiling. We didn't wait for doors to open. The lesson I learned is that you need to open some doors for yourself in pursuit of career advancement.
We're all different ages, sizes, shapes, genders, and we all have different lifestyles. We're quickly moving to bespoke diets that enable tailored and informed nutritional food choices.
The attitude of giving a full commitment to the partnership will usually result in getting the same commitment in return.
I've been preparing to run a big company all my life.
The business world needs the best talent from both genders to compete in an ever-changing environment and drive innovation.
The thing that I learned early on is you really need to set goals in your life, both short-term and long-term, just like you do in business. Having that long-term goal will enable you to have a plan on how to achieve it.
I know there are no sure bets or overnight miracles.
When Dad came home from work, he'd turn our family dinners into tutorials on business, money, sales, and profit margins. He shared fascinating stories about his customers, marketing, and my favorite topic when I was a kid - new product launches. Our father also took us to his office before the advent of 'Take Your Child to Work Day.'
I learned marketing at my dinner table.
Set ambitious goals and don't be afraid to declare and aim for them. You need to know where you want to go in order to get there. It is important to have a destination in mind.
Life's a balancing act. You have multiple roles and goals, and you can do it all - just not all at once.
I don't know if it's unique to women or not, but I do know that women think that they join a company, and the company will take care of them, as opposed to taking charge.
The entrepreneurial spirit has moved from the garage in high-tech to the kitchen in food.
We tend to treat eating and diets as one size fits all. But the human body is very personalized.
For us, giving back is not an extracurricular activity.
