烏蘇拉?M?伯恩斯

公司：施樂

《財富》500強排名：127

????2009年，烏蘇拉?伯恩斯接替安妮?穆爾卡希，成為施樂公司（Xerox）CEO，創(chuàng)造了歷史。她成為《財富》500強公司中首位非洲裔美國人女性CEO，而且這種權(quán)力交接也是首次在兩位女性CEO之間進(jìn)行。她一直腳踏實地，堅持做真實的自己。去年五月，伯恩斯在接受《財富》雜志高級編輯佩蒂?塞勒斯采訪時說：“確定我將繼任施樂公司CEO時，安妮?穆爾卡希跟我說：‘你將面臨很多困難，但不要走我的老路?！@是我從她那里學(xué)到的東西之一。你可以一輩子都跟隨別人的腳步，亦步亦趨，但那樣的話就無法實現(xiàn)超越，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)他人。”

Ursula M. Burns

Company: Xerox

Fortune 500 rank: 127

????Xerox CEO Ursula Burns made history in 2009. Succeeding Anne Mulcahy, Burns was the first African-American female CEO -- and the first recipient of a woman-to-woman handoff -- in the Fortune 500. She stays grounded by staying true to herself. "When it became clear that I would become the CEO of Xerox, Anne Mulcahy said to me, 'It's going to be hard for you anyway, but don't try and be me. You can't try to be me,'" Burns told Fortune editor-at-large Pattie Sellers last May. "And that's one of the things I learned. You can probably be somebody else and follow all your life, but you cannot be somebody else and lead."
