《财富》500强女CEO的职场箴言

麦基•维尔德罗特

公司：边疆通信公司

《财富》500强排名：464

    麦基•维尔德罗特与丹尼斯•莫里森一直是企业界最热门的“姐妹花”。两人分别担任边疆通信（Frontier Communications）与金宝汤公司的CEO，并且都说自己的信心和商业头脑是拜父母所赐。2011年《财富》最具影响力商界女性峰会上，在与姐姐一起上台时，维尔德罗特回忆道：“每到周六上午，我们就得收集罐子，这样我们才能得到零花钱。”

    莫里森打断她说：“我们可以进行实物交换。”然后，维尔德罗特继续说道：“不论我们想要什么，首先都会制定商业计划。”莫里斯补充道：“比如，穿耳孔。为了向父亲证明，扎耳孔不是三分钟热度，我们带了整整一年的螺帽！”两姐妹都说，年轻时对细节的关注、大局观、以及创新意识，都在后来的商业规划中起到了很大的帮助。

趣事：布鲁斯•斯普林斯汀的父亲在新泽西给她们穿的耳孔。

Maggie Wilderotter

Company: Frontier Communications

Fortune 500 rank: 464

    Maggie Wilderotter and Denise Morrison are the much-discussed sister act of the corporate world. As the CEOs of Frontier Communications and Campbell Soup, respectively, the duo claims their parents are the source of their confidence and business savvy. Onstage at the 2011 Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit with her big sister, Wilderotter reminisced, "Every Saturday morning, we had jobs in jars and we were responsible to do those to get our allowance."

    "And we could barter," Morrison interrupted. "We did business plans on anything we wanted," Wilderotter continued. "Like getting our ears pierced... We had to wear screw back earrings to prove to our dad that it wasn't a fad - for a year!" Morrison added. The attention to detail, being thorough, and being innovative at a young age, the sisters say, helped them with future business plans.

Fun fact: Bruce Springsteen's dad pierced their ears in New Jersey.
