How Leaders Lead with David Novak

#88: Carol Loomis, Fortune Magazine Former Senior Editor-At-Large—Taking It One Step at a Time


Listen Later

Today’s guest is Carol Loomis, Former Senior Editor-at-large at Fortune magazine.


There’s so much I admire about how Carol has navigated her career. She’s blazed her own trail and done things no women had ever done before in the journalism field, which has paved the way for women in other industries too. Not only did she create what is known today as the Fortune 500 list, she was an advisor, editor, and friend to Warren Buffet, who she’d talk to almost daily for decades. She even wrote a book about him called “Tap Dancing to Work.”

But what stands out to me about how Carol leads is that she’s taken one step at a time. She pushed through barriers and made a name for herself by doing excellent work until she retired from Fortune after working there for 60 years. There’s a lot to learn about her tenacity and drive, and her one step at a time approach.
