Ep. 122: The Powers of Me, We & Us - Ginni Rometty

Heart & Home

Ginni Rometty became CEO of IBM in 2012 and retired from the company in 2020. Under Rometty’s leadership, IBM achieved record results in diversity and inclusion through programs that extended parental leave and made it easier for women to return to the workforce. She is the author of GOOD POWER: Leading Positive Change in Our Lives, Work, and World (March 7, 2023; Harvard Business Review Press). The book turned into a memoir with a purpose which she uses in a teaching way and hopes when you read her book it gives you the confidence to do something to change something hard in a positive way. That’s what she means when she says the power of me, the power of we, and the power of us. Currently, Rometty is the co-chair of OneTen, an organization that is combining the power of US companies to upskill, hire, and promote one million Black Americans over the next 10 years into family-sustaining jobs with opportunities for advancement. She was interviewed by Ellen McGirt, Fortune Magazine, during the California Conference for Women in March 2023.
