Summary:
"
Ginni
Rometty
led one of the world's most iconic companies, and in 'Good Power' she recounts her groundbreaking path from a challenging childhood to becoming the CEO of IBM and one of the world's most influential business leaders. With candor and depth,
Rometty
shares milestones from her life and career while redefining power as a way to drive meaningful change in positive ways for ourselves, our organizations, and for the many, not just the few -- a concept she calls 'good power.'
Rometty
's 'memoir with purpose' combines the experiences that defined her life -- personal hurdles, high-stakes decisions, passionate advocacy -- with the actionable advice of a coaching session to highlight lessons that shape authentic leadership. Behind-the-scenes stories and practical guidance offer us a blueprint for how we can all use good power to advance our careers, inspire our teams, improve our companies, and create healthier societies. The book begins with raw, vivid memories from
Rometty
's youth and early professional years as she recalls the trauma and the role models that formed her belief that how we lead is as important as what we achieve. She learns early on that good power is a choice available to everyone, even to those without money, status, or impressive titles.
Rometty
then shows us how her concept of good power evolved as she grew from a first-time manager to a transformative CEO. Stories told through the lens of five principles -- be in service of others; build belief; know what must change and what must endure; steward good tech; be resilient -- reveal tools that anyone can apply to achieve real change at any stage of their life and work.
Rometty
also encourages us to use good power at scale to bring about urgent societal change. She shares insights from her own journey to create a more equitable world by leading the SkillsFirst movement, which connects underserved populations with family-sustaining jobs by transforming hiring, education, and training. With heart, humility, and conviction, 'Good Power' offers an inspiring, compelling guide to creating meaningful change in our lives."--From publisher.
