"In the end, how did I get to where I am? You could argue it's survivor basis. I just flipped heads every time the coin went after 20 job rounds and therefore I'm the only one left."
"No one gets there by being the wallpaper. You're going to have to be famous for something in each job, emphasizing that standing out requires taking risks-and accepting that not every bet will pay off."
"This whole work life balance thing which is kind of a weird phrase if you ask me because last time I checked work was part of life, not separate."
James Quincey, Coca-Cola's executive chairman, emphasizes that his rise to the top was due to endurance rather than a strict plan. He likens his journey to a survival game, where success involves overcoming challenges repeatedly. Quincey joined Coca-Cola in 1996 and moved through various leadership roles before becoming CEO in 2017. He believes that standing out in any job requires taking risks and acknowledges that work-life balance is a misleading concept, as work is inherently part of life.
