1 prediction · 1 assertion · 7 insights · every statement was checked. The prediction and assertion are the 2 claims: statements the public record can support or contradict. 1 is resolved, and 1 names no date, number or outcome precise enough to check. Everything else (opinions, insights, what ifs, disclosures) can never be settled by the record, so it carries no assessment.

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Carla Harris on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.

Insight
Workplace sponsors matter more than mentors for pay and promotions
“Because that's even more important than mentorship. The sponsor uses their capital on your promotion, your pay, your ability to get new opportunities. The mentor, in my parlance, is the person that will give it to you straight, no chaser. Good, bad, and ugly. …”

Insight
Business executives call the shots while lawyers merely execute
“That was the summer I realized that the lawyers didn't call the shots. The business people called the shots, and the lawyers helped you get it done within the context of the law.”

Insight
Professionals have about 90 days to establish workplace impressions

Insight
Colleagues' perceptions dictate treatment and mirror role-specific success traits
“How people perceive you will directly impact how they deal with you. In order for you to train people to think about you and the way you want them to think about you is you first need to understand the adjectives that are associated with success for that seat.”

Insight
Mimicking successful peers destroys your competitive edge
“The temptation is to now do it the way Ted is doing, or say it the way Mary is saying it. And before you know it, you start losing your edge because all you're trying to do is walk and talk like Ted and eat and drink like Mary. You lose the thing that only you…”

Insight
Asking for permission grants others the power to say no
“Sometimes you find yourself asking for permission of someone that doesn't have the power to tell you no, but because you asked them, you gave them the power to tell you no.”

Insight
Failing to remove a poor leader holds the organization hostage
“When you fail to remove a poor leader, You hold the rest of the organization hostage, and boy was she right.”
