Dad's advice helps shatter glass ceiling

New York

AS a girl growing up in Elberon, New Jersey, Denise Morrison, future chief executive officer of Campbell Soup Co, got a business education from her father.

An executive at AT&T, Dennis Sullivan brought home models of the Princess Trimline phone and talked to Ms Morrison and her three younger sisters at dinner about product development and marketing. He described new assignments and taught them to write business plans when they wanted something new, like a bicycle, that included the costs of different models.
