Perfect Enough

Perfect Enough offers a compelling behind-the-scenes look at Carly Fiorina's tenure at the helm of Hewlett-Packard. Taking charge of the historic Silicon Valley pioneer in 1999, Fiorina aimed to modernise the technology giant while attempting to honour the longstanding values established by founders Bill Hewlett and David Packard.

Author George Anders chronicles the high-stakes corporate drama that followed, culminating in Fiorina's contentious strategy to merge with competitor Compaq. Anders details the intense conflict between Fiorina and board member Walter Hewlett, son of the company's co-founder, an encounter that unfolded across news headlines, executive boardrooms, and courtrooms.

This account sheds light on the pressures of top-tier corporate leadership, major institutional change, and the personal dynamics involved in shaping the future of a global corporation. It will appeal to business leaders, professionals, and general readers interested in technology history and corporate strategy.
