Elizabeth Holmes's CEO playbook revealed in handwritten note

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A handwritten note by former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes reveals her strict self-imposed rules for presenting herself as a leader. The note, detailing a demanding schedule, includes directives like "I do everything I say—word for word" and "I show no excitement." These principles appear to have been influenced by her former partner, Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, who allegedly discouraged her from trusting her own business instincts. Holmes is currently serving a prison sentence for fraud, while a new documentary is bringing renewed attention to her story. AI
