FRANKEL We have been talking with several CEOs about he feminization of leadership. Do you see that? How do you think women—not only in a CEO role, but in senior oles—change the culture of the organization and the leadership strategies?
MOONEY One of the things Henry did was he created a culture where teaming mattered, collaboration mat- tered, respect mattered, integrity mattered, leadership mattered. He had already in his tenure as CEO created an organization that valued those things over the indi- vidual or the competition. It is a culture where you don’t talk about what I did. Even if you’re talking about what I did, you say we did it. It was part of what drew me here and part of why I think I have been comfortable, thrived and then really fit the characteristics of someone who could be the next CEO after Henry. You have chemistry within a management team. The culture of our organization was col- laborative and team based, and that’s what we value. As a matter of act, this year when we did our chairmen’s awards, they were all teams. You don’t fit here if you can’t hrive in that kind of a culture. Is that, back to your question, a feminine leadership style
