Stacey started at the New York Stock Exchange as an intern, quit to go to culinary school, did a stint at rival NASDAQ, returned\u2014and rose through the ranks to become the NYSE\u2019s first-ever female president. That\u2019s an unconventional path to the top job (yes, \u201cpresident\u201d is the top position at the NYSE), and Stacey is leading the 227-year-old company in unconventional and new ways. She\u2019s full of career advice and leadership wisdom. Here are five things that Stacey said and my team and I found particularly valuable:  Leadership and management are not the same thing. So being able to contribute to the path forward doesn't mean I have to have X number of people reporting in to me, so my organization is bigger. 16:43  &amp;nbsp;  Be yourself. If I can do my job in my own skin, that\u2019s much easier. I think society is becoming a little more welcoming to that. 20:20  &amp;nbsp;  Never waste a hire. Always hire the best player you can get\u2014and someone better than you. 21:21  &amp;nbsp;  When I think about the skills you have to have as a leader, you don\u2019t have to have them all within yourself. You have to have them within your team. 20:52  &amp;nbsp;  Make sure that you're not such a key critical person that I can't give you an opportunity to go do something new because I can't take you out of the job you're in. 21:55  Make sure you tune into the NYSE\u2019s very own podcast, Inside the Ice House! It\u2019s full of great conversations with inspiring leaders and I know you\u2019ll love it:  https:\/\/www.theice.com\/insights\/conversations\/inside-the-ice-house You can learn more by visiting: www.sap.com\/acalltolead.
