The HP Ouster of Carly Fiorina
Today, February 10, 2005, "Carly" Fiorina was ousted as
president of HP. She was the first woman to head this major a
corporation. Is HP the loser?
The Data:
Birth Name: Cara Carleton Sneed
Current Name: Carly Fiorina
Birth Date: September 6, 1954
Birth name Current Name
Integrative Vision (32)5
Life Path 16/7
Birthday 6
Expression 14/5 14/5
Soul Urge 6 15/6
Personality (26)8 8
The first striking observation on her numbers is that the
numbers of the birth name and the current name are the same,
with subtle nuances in the underlying numbers. This similarity
gives greater force to the current name.
Although she is an innovative leader, she is not an
authoritarian. With a 14/5 Expression and a 5 integrative vision
number, she works a lot from trial and error. At times her
decisions can be impetuous. Having allowed for a degree of
rashness, she comes to the table with a well thought out plan.
She is intuitive enough to sense what will work.
The basis of her ouster was the purchase by HP of Compaq. This
decision had strong opposition from The Hewlitt heirs. It was
argued that she was taking the company away from its roots and
modifying the corporate culture that had stood the test of time.
There undoubtedly was truth to these assertions, Carly is not one
to be bound by tradition. She takes her responsibilities
seriously. She is considerate of the views of others, but not
always influenced by them.
Carly is very observant of everything going on around her.
Nothing escapes her attention. She takes in a massive amount of
data that needs to be processed. For this reason, even in the
high powered executive office she needs time alone to analyze
her position.
With the 16/7 life path, she is often misunderstood. Her view of
the world and of the corporation is not the same as most people.
She sees things from a different angle. Her communication can be
misconstrued even by associates who are favorably inclined toward
her. This same 7 energy keeps her somewhat aloof. She wears a
protective shield to cover her vulnerabilities.
Carly is in a 22/4 personal year. This is a year of great
accomplishment. It may appear at first blush that the ouster was
not in keeping with this energy. Her progressed chart shows her
under an 8 essence. At her birthday in September she will go
into a series of five years of a 19/1 essence. What that means
is that she is at the peak of her game in all aspects, but with
an impetus to achieve in her own business. With this peak
energy, she could have moved HP forward out of the negative
impact of the Compaq purchase. A new leader will need time to
get his feet wet. It seems to me that HP would have benefited by
keeping her in the position.
For Carly, the ouster was probably a favorable step. With the
strong 5 emphasis, she was ready to move on. There were still
enough challenges to prevent boredom, but she had brought a
fresh view to a staid company. It is time for her to take her
wealth of experience into her own business where she will have
full freedom to use her creative business ideas and her array of
experience without needing to answer to anyone else.
The expectation is that by September she will be back in the
headlines in a highly successful transition. For Carly the
future looks bright. She is on the threshold of even greater
achievement. It is vital that she holds to her grand vision.
Carly, congratulation s on your past successes. You are just
getting a good start.
