In the final segment of this week’s Media Beat interview, The Knot‘s Carley Roney asserts that the one thing businesswomen need isn’t education, talent, or even experience — it’s balls. (We’re talking in the figurative sense, of course.) Roney explains that the female tendency to act by consensus has no place in the workplace.

“I’m willing to be disliked over a decision if I think it’s the right thing to do. I’m willing to have people have to trust me and come along. I don’t necessarily need to ask 10 people their opinion,” she tells mediabistro founder Laurel Touby. “It’s really something I try to teach all my staff to do. You’re only going to get in trouble for not making a decision and for not making actions happen, not for making the wrong decision.”

Watch the full video to get Roney’s tips on hiring top talent and to find out why she considers her marriage to The Knot co-founder and CEO David Liu “polygamous.”
