She’s as beautiful as a garden of roses yet tough as a box of nails: Andrea Jung—today’s Ms. CEO of the Week—is a 21st century business woman to be emulated and admired. She is the CEO and Chairman of Avon, a $10 billion company that remains on the cutting edge of cosmetic sales, corporate responsibility, technology, and global advertising and marketing.
I haven’t met Ms. Jung yet but I look forward to it. Imagine a woman gutsy enough to “fire” herself to save her job and her company. That’s what Ms. Jung did in 2005 when Avon’s profits were down and the hot water was rising, as investors raised their eyebrows at quarter after quarter of poor performance.
To get the company back on track, Ms. Jung took some advice and fired herself. Read what she shared with Fortune Magazine to find out what happened as a result. I think I’ll fire myself this weekend.
Be Encouraged,
Felicia Joy
