In a new book, Winners: And How They Succeed, by Alastair Campbell, Anna Wintour reveals her keys to success. Outlined below are a few of the points with quotes from Wintour:
Fail: 'Everyone should be sacked at least once in their career because
'perfection doesn't exist'. 'It's important to have setbacks, because that is
the reality of life.'
Decide: 'It makes it clearer
for everyone else. Most people prevaricate. I decide fast.'
Delegate & Utilize other People’s Strengths: 'People work better when
they have responsibility’
Get Up Early: she rises at 5am everyday
Fake It Until You Make It: “Even if you aren’t sure of yourself, pretend that you are”
Turn Off on the Weekend: "I don’t have a high-powered life out of work. I like to go
to the country for the weekend with the kids and the dog and play tennis. I am
very good at turning off.”
