她不顾那些熟练掌握电子表格制作的顾问的建议，坚持给所有员工提供16周的带薪休假福利，以应对任何家庭紧急情况。

"I’m not a big rattler, but I rattled⁴ some people," she says. "I said we’re just going to do it."

“我不是一个经常婆婆妈妈的人，但我会让一些人很有压力，”她说。 “我就跟他们说，我们就这么做。”

AS FAR AS work-life strategy goes, Engelbert has a black belt in scheduling.

就工作-生活策略而言，恩格波特在安排日程方面可谓相当了得。

The day before our meeting, she was in Washington at a business round-table.

At about noon, her assistant gets antsy.

Apparently⁶ I’m eating into Engelbert’s time for SMOR—"small moments of reflection," the 10-minute micro-breaks she schedules between one meeting and the next.

显然，我占了恩格波特SMOR——“反思时刻”的时间，这是她在两个会议之间安排的10分钟的短暂休息时间。

How did Engelbert win the approval, trust and votes of a business-minded group of individuals when so many other women struggle?

那么多女性同胞都感到异常艰难的时候，恩格波特是如何赢得这样一群富有商业头脑的人的支持、信任以及投票的呢？

She makes no jokes.

Like many CEOs, she’s a competent but unexciting public speaker:

at a recent commencement at Duke, she gave advice that started with the letters DUKE, while at a Villanova talk her tips began with NOVA.

最近在杜克大学的毕业典礼上，她用DUKE（大学名）这一单词概括了她的建议，而在维拉诺瓦演讲时，她也用了NOVA这一缩略词。
