Bartz'S Career Experience: Rude Bar Girl Pformed Into YAHOO CEO

According to foreign media reports,

After one year as chief executive of YAHOO, Bartz has proved to be an aggressive, vulgar, but very lovable company manager.

However, Bartz still needs to prove that she can revive YAHOO.

In January 13, 2009,

After completing the paction with Microsoft, YAHOO is pforming from search engine to network portal.

If Bartz's strategy is right, YAHOO will simplify the difficult web search to personalized information flow, attracting new users and new revenue.

Bartz also doubted herself, but it turned out that she had made many good choices.

The vast majority of CEOs, such as Bartz, are not lucky enough to get super annual salaries.

So is bar girl.

You know, Bartz used to be a bar girl.

Until now, Bartz still knows the hidden rules of bars.

Childhood

My mother died when I was 8 years old.

His father was a Miller, and the way he taught his children was leather belts.

When I was 12 years old, my brother and I moved to live together with their grandparents in Wisconsin's farm.

So in the 4 years from 8 to 12 years old, I am like my mother cleaning the room and cooking.

Apart from letting you do nothing, these things are nothing.

One day, when I was living with my grandparents, my brother and I slipped into a machine warehouse on the farm.

Suddenly, we found a rattlesnake in front of us.

We didn't even think about it and ran to grandma instead of running to Grandpa.

The old lady came with a spade and spat at the head of the snake, and chopped the head of the rattlesnake completely.

The snake was very big. At that time, grandma only said a word, "you can't do that."

This is not to say that she wanted to give us some life advice at that time.

After killing the snake, she left. That's the same thing.

bargirl

I was a very good bar girl.

I never even went to a bar before I accepted this job.

I didn't know there was a customer in the bar.

At that time, my boss asked me, "OK, put on this."

In order to put on those clothes, I did nearly 50 hours of Aerobics in the next three days.

Frankly speaking, I might have done 1000 sit ups at that time.

When I was able to put on those clothes, the problem followed, because I did not have the kinds of hangover.

So when someone said to me, "give me a brandy, I don't even know what they are talking about."

{page_break}

At that time, I thought the boss would not let me do it again, but I began to receive tipping all the time.

This kind of work does not require much pleasing customers, but it can get a tip.

I made a lot of money then.

One night, when I was wearing a black net stockings and suspenders and carrying a plate of wine in the bar to attract customers, something happened that I wanted to disappear in the air.

Someone raised my little skirt. When I looked back, I found that this gentleman was my senior high school principal.

I can't remember his name now. I said, "Mr. XX".

And he replied, "Carol!"

Workplace involvement

My career began with Digital Equipment in Atlanta, when I was a sales representative of the company.

Later, I got promoted among my colleagues.

So I was their colleague, but on the second day I was promoted, I became their boss.

The first day of my promotion didn't go well.

I'll tell you why.

Do you know what the plug compatibility means? On the same day, one of my former colleagues, a sales representative of the company, came to my office and said to me, "I am not going to work for a socket compatible boss."

I said to him, "well, I'm not going anywhere.

I've never been a boss before. I just got promoted 5 minutes ago. "

Oh, my God! If this happened today, I would beat his shit out.

I mean, I'll direct him out of the office, and don't let the door hit his butt.

YAHOO

A year ago, on the second day when I was in YAHOO, I held a company plenary meeting.

At that time, all the staff looked at me under the stage.

When I answered my questions, someone raised his hand and asked, "have you ever used a mobile device?" so ridiculous, I am 60 years old.

I replied, "I put the walkie talkie there.

I think I have enough strength to stand here and finish the meeting. "

There was a huge problem inside YAHOO, and all types of internal documents would be leaked to the media.

We should know that our private dialogue should not be known to the neighbours.

So I told my employees that it was wrong to disclose internal documents.

If I find the leak, I will kick him to his fucking Mars.

You must agree with me.

In addition to this, do I have to say, "Oh, please don't do this..."

Do you think I can remember YAHOO employees like this? Yes, this way can not work.

I said so at the time, because I was irritated.

As is known to all, I am cautious in everything.

In fact, someone asked me, "when will you get rid of bad language in your conversation?" I answered, "do you want me to plug my ears?"

I always hug with employees, I am a very fond of contact.

Contact is a very important part of human behavior.

I also like eye contact.

I always remember President Clinton's economic summit in Little Rock in 1992 (Little Rock).

At that time, I was a chief executive who had just made a debut.

When I entered the room, I found that all the great figures I had seen before in financial magazines.

I thought, "God, can I disappear here?" {page_break}

But then I told me in my heart: I know how to deal with these things.

How to enter a person's heart?

So when I walked there, I told Bob Crandall, the Bob Crandall, "I have always been your admirer."

It's amazing to meet you. "

I said the same thing in front of 3 or 4 people.

All these people do exactly the same -- shake hands with me and turn around and look at the rest of the room.

This thing touches me very much.

I don't think you can do that.

So I have been using my eyes to communicate and contact with people.

The last question I asked when I was recruiting people was, "I will not work with asshole."

Are you such a person? "Some people would say," good question.

I hope to work in this environment.

But there are also people who are at a loss.

This person left me with only one impression. "I guess I am an asshole."

I always lay off my employees in the morning because I was full of energy at that time.

I mean, why do I have to sit there all day thinking about something: "I will dismiss Joey at 16:59?" there's a joke in the workplace. Don't eat breakfast with Bartz, because it's not a safe thing.

People who know me know that I never make breakfast.

If one day I get up early to meet someone, something will happen.

Are women better listeners than men? I'm not sure.

I mean, I've never been a male, so I don't know anything about it.

My husband never listened to me because his mother did not let him listen.

What can I do? Hit him? I want to say, I have always loved him, but do I want him to correct his habits? That's not necessary.

The future of YAHOO

At present, the number of Web sites worldwide has reached 225 million.

No one has time to wander around the Internet.

Tomorrow's YAHOO will really make fine scissors.

What I am talking about here is not the architecture of YAHOO.

We will show users what their interests are.

For example, if you are a sports fan but are not interested in tennis, then we will not provide you with tennis content.

I call this the "Internet of One".

YAHOO has a history of 15 years. We are the Internet.

That is to say, we have been very successful.

Our users have reached 600 million, but we can do more.

That's why I came to YAHOO.

The company was hit hard before Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) returned to apple to run the company's smart print.

I did not compare Jobs with me.

Think about what the name of the computer before Macintosh was Apple II, because it triggered a revolution in personal computers at that time.

Everyone is thinking about the great changes brought by iPod to apple.

But after Jobs returned to apple, it took him a long time to launch iPod to make apple truly on the road to revival.

My job is not convincing people.

My job is to work hand in hand with this team.

Three years later, YAHOO will take on a completely new look.
