WITI Women | Fran Bartlett

On a lighter note:

1. If you could have dinner with any 2 people (living or not), who would they be?
Elvis Presley. A poor kid who became the King - who doesn't like that? And Tim Fife, former president of Computer Science Corporation's business services group. A former colonel in the Marine Corps, he could walk in, light up a room, take anyone's product and sell it. I learned a lot about selling from him.

2. What was the last book you read? What books do you love to recommend?
Last book read: "Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man and Life's Greatest Lesson"

I recommend: Michael Gerber's "The E-Myth Revisited." It should be required for anyone thinking about starting a business. He says that entrepreneurs have many good but distracting ideas, and often make poor business people.

3. If you were to choose a different profession, what would it be?
Broadcast journalist

4. What is your definition of success?
Success, no matter what you do, is leaving a legacy behind - be it children, your own company or an invention.

Fran Bartlett answers these questions:
1. What was your first job in technology?
2. Who has been your most significant mentor? Why?
3. What has been your greatest challenge and what strategies did you use to overcome obstacles?
4. Who has been the most influential person in your life? Why?
5. What lessons have you learned that would be valuable to women beginning their careers in technology?
6. What new technology do you believe will have the most positive impact on the world in the next 20 years? The most negative impact?
