I remember my first away game and I turned up and I said,

hi, could you tell me where the boardroom is?

And he said, dear, you don't understand.

The director's wives go in the ladies room.

And I said, no, I don't think it's you understands.

I am the managing director.

Baroness Brady.

She's one of Britain's most successful business women.

I'm the kind of person that never hears the word, no.

I hear find another way to get what you want.

Leadership is about vision, and your art as a leader is to persuade people to believe in your vision.

I remember reading the story about your son turning to on a holiday and saying,

I wish your Blackberry would blow up. Working mother is the best title for me. Sometimes you

don't get it right. You can only do the best you can do. Ambition is that spark.

It's that fire inside of yourself that won't let you settle for anything

other than what you think you deserve and what you want.

What would you say to those young women that are starting out in their career.

I would say.

So without further ado, I'm Stephen Bartlett and this is the diary of a CEO.

I hope nobody's listening, but if you are, then please keep this to yourself.

Karen.

Hello Stephen.
