????思科系統(tǒng)(Cisco System)首席技術(shù)和戰(zhàn)略官帕德馬里?沃里爾除了在競爭激烈的數(shù)字網(wǎng)絡(luò)行業(yè)引領(lǐng)這家公司發(fā)展,，同時還涉足零售行業(yè)。今年9月,，沃里爾成為了Gap Inc.的董事,。她的科技專長將有助于提升購物者的體驗，同時還能改善這家以男性為主的董事會的男女比例,。

????《財富》雜志(Fortune)從1998年開始編制最具影響力的商界女性榜單,，并于次年開始舉辦一年一度的峰會。如今,，它已經(jīng)成為了一個由商界,、政界、慈善,、教育和藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域杰出女性組成的精英圈,。本周問答專欄聚焦其中一位最具影響力女性對于領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力、人生抱負以及工作生活平衡的看法,。

????1. 你獲得過的最好建議是什么,？

????我17歲離家去德里的印度理工學(xué)院(Indian Institute of Technology)學(xué)習(xí)工程學(xué)，離家前父親給了我一條建議：“仰望星空,，腳踏實地,。”我認為放到商界和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力方面,，它意味著要有大膽的遠見,，同時又不失對執(zhí)行細節(jié)的關(guān)注,。這也是我的個人口頭禪，一直幫助我認清現(xiàn)實,。

????2.你最近讀過的一本書是什么,？

????我剛剛讀完了亨利?詹姆斯的《螺絲在擰緊》（Turn of the Screw）。這部小說篇幅不長,，但扣人心弦,。有些地方模棱兩可，有很多不同的闡釋,。很是吸引人,。我眼下剛開始讀艾麗絲?門羅的《仇恨、友誼,、殷勤,、愛情與婚姻》（Hateship, Friendship, Courtship,Loveship, Marriage: Stories）。她贏得了2013年諾貝爾文學(xué)獎,，鑒于她的寫作才華,，堪稱實至名歸。

????3.當前就業(yè)市場非常嚴峻,，對于即將進入就業(yè)市場的年輕人,，你想說些什么？

????尋求一切途徑,，推開機遇的大門,。

????4.你錯過的最佳機會是什么？

????不只生一個孩子,。如果我早點明白一些關(guān)于職業(yè)和為人父母的道理,，我會多生幾個孩子。

????5.如果有機會,，你希望創(chuàng)立哪一家初創(chuàng)企業(yè),？

????嗯……我不是那種人，不會想太多“我本來可以,，我本來能夠,，我本來應(yīng)該?！笨萍嫉镊攘υ谟?，大家總是有機會在一家大公司內(nèi)部、或從零開始建立一家“初創(chuàng)公司”,。

????Cisco System's (CSCO) Chief Technology and Strategy Officer Padmasree Warrior may help the company navigate the competitive digital networking sector, but she also has her hands in the retail industry.

????Fortune's Most Powerful Women started as a list in 1998, kicked off its annual Summit the following year, and has since become a community of the preeminent women in business, government, philanthropy, education, and the arts. This weekly Q&A features one MPW's personal take on leadership, aspirations, and (of course) balance.

????1.What is the best advice you ever received?

????When I left home at 17 to study engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, my dad gave me this advice, "Keep your eyes on the stars and feet on the ground." I translate this to business and my leadership by having a bold vision while staying focused on the details of execution. This has been my personal mantra also and helps me to keep it real all the time

????2. What was the last book you read?

????Just finished reading Turn of the Screw by Henry James. This novella is short yet gripping, ambiguous, and opens up so many different interpretations. It's fascinating. I just started reading Hateship, Friendship, Courtship,Loveship, Marriage: Stories by Alice Munro. She won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013, a well-deserved honor for her talent as a writer.

????3. What would you say to a group of young people looking to enter the tough job market?

????Pursue all avenues, and push through open doors.

????4. What was your biggest missed opportunity?

????Having more than one child. If I knew then what I know now, about career and parenting, I would have had more kids.

????5. What is one startup you would have wanted to found?

????Hmm ... I am not the type to think a lot about "would have, could have, should have." The beauty of technology is that there is always an opportunity to do a "startup" inside a big company or from the ground up.
