Summary
One of the world's most respected leaders, former IBM CEO Ginni Rometty overcame childhood and financial struggles to embark on a groundbreaking career that took her from entry-level engineer to eight years as the first woman CEO of an iconic global company.
Forty years in business and public advocacy taught Rometty the transformative power of leadership that blends authenticity, relationships, and curiosity with vision, rigor, and conviction. In her personable yet direct voice, Rometty reveals experiences that taught her how to orchestrate change for clients, companies, and communities. Her lessons and stories offer a blueprint for how we can all drive meaningful change in positive ways—a concept she calls "good power."
The book begins with raw, vivid memories from Rometty's youth and early professional life as she reflects on the trauma and role models that influenced how she later thought about good power. Rometty then shares how she strived to use good power during her career and as a transformative CEO. Five principles—be in service of many stakeholders, build belief among skeptics, make tough choices, champion tech ethics and inclusion, be resilient—show how to navigate tension and build trust on the path to real change. She also shows how good power can scale to address urgent societal issues, even in our polarizing times.

Full of nuggets
Captivating story of how she made it and a great listen. The book offers extremely useful tools on how to deal with various challenges in executive positions, for example how to deal with crisis and criticism. I am so grateful for the book and the advice shared, and feel empowered by her story!

Simple concepts, great insights
I liked the structure of me / we / us and drawing on lifelong experiences to guide and connect. I’d love to have heard more about what Ginny wishes she’d done differently, and her views on leadership for a better tomorrow.

A Business View
It wasn’t really for me.
Definitely feel good vibes to the book.
However, I much preferred Indra Nooyi’s audiobook as it touched more on how her personal story interwove with the business one - this one was too business focused for me.
I also found the narration… ok, but there was a lot of emphasis on certain words for no reason other than the narrator’s brain computing what was being said.
