Mindy Grossman: I quit with no job lined up. The next day, Ralph Lauren called.

Mindy Grossman resigned from a newly profitable, $200-million division with no other job lined up, because the company's values no longer matched her own. She was escorted out by security that afternoon. The next day, the people whose company she'd just left called to hire her for something else, which is how she ended up founding Polo Jeans Company from scratch. Grossman, Consello Partner & Vice Chair and a board member at Fanatics and VF Corp, joins Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi to talk about that decision, the adoption story she says shaped her entire approach to risk, and what she looks for in the next generation of leaders.
