This August, Campbell Soup Company COO Denise Morrison becomes the iconic brand’s first female CEO.
Heading up a multi-billion dollar company with 18,000 employees and products sold in more than 100 countries seems like it won’t leave much room for Life/Work balance – but Morrison isn’t worried.
Why not?
“I don’t believe in Life/Work balance – to me, that implies a perfect equilibrium,” Morrison tells PINK. “Instead, I [aim for] Life/Work integration.”
She may be on to something. Experts say – especially for women trying to be good wives, mothers and business leaders all at once – beating ourselves up for
not feeling “balanced” is the last thing we need.
“We’re all so busy today and so connected that we have to find a way to integrate our careers with our family life and other interests,” says the mother of two. “It’s challenging, but I know it can be done.”
Adjusting standards to give yourself a break and not being afraid to set boundaries and stick to them results in an added sense of control, if not balance.
