'A must-read for working women and the men who work with us, love
us and support us' Hillary Rodham Clinton 'Surprising and
compelling' Financial Times The much-anticipated and inspiring
memoir by Indra Nooyi, the trailblazing former CEO of PepsiCo,
offering clear-eyed insight and a call to action for how our
society can really blend work and family - and advance women - in
the twenty-first century For more than a dozen years as one of the
world's most admired CEOs, Indra Nooyi redefined what it means to
be an exceptional leader. The first woman, person of color, and
immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company - and one of the foremost
strategic thinkers of our time - Nooyi transformed PepsiCo with a
unique vision, a vigorous pursuit of excellence, and a deep sense
of purpose. Now, in a rich memoir brimming with grace, grit, and
good humor, My Life in Full offers a firsthand view of a legendary
career and the sacrifices it so often demanded. In her book, Nooyi
shares the events that shaped her - from her childhood in 1960s
India, to the Yale School of Management, to her rise as a
consultant and corporate strategist who soon ascended into the most
senior executive ranks. The book offers an intimate look inside
PepsiCo, detailing how she steered the iconic American company
toward healthier products and reinvented its environmental profile
without curbing financial performance - despite resistance at every
turn. At the same time, Nooyi built a home with her husband - also
a high-powered executive - two daughters, and members of her
extended family. My Life in Full includes her unvarnished take on
the competing pressures on her attention and time, and what she
learned along the way. This book, as has her personal journey, will
inspire young women everywhere to believe that they, too, can climb
to powerful roles without giving up on the desire for a family and
children. But, as Nooyi eloquently argues, her story is not a call
for women to simply try harder, but is proof of the importance of
organised care structures in all of our success. Nooyi makes a
clear, actionable, urgent call for business and government to
prioritise the care ecosystem, from skilled care networks to zoning
policy, to paid leave and flexible and predictable work hours, each
so critical to unleashing the economy's full potential and helping
families thrive. Generous, authoritative, and grounded in lived
experience, My Life in Full is both the story of an extraordinary
leader's life, and a moving tribute to the relationships that
created it.
Tee erfreut sich seit vielen hundert Jahren grosser Beliebtheit.
Die Anfange der ausgepragten Teekultur finden sich in China, wo zum
ersten Mal Pflanzenblatter zu dem aromatischen Getrank gebraut
wurde. Auf dem Seeweg kam der Tee aber recht bald nach Europa, wo
er sich zunachst als eine Art Arznei bewahren musste, bevor er vor
allem in englischen Adelskreisen zum Genussmittel avancierte. Das
vorliegende Buch aus dem Jahr 1903 beschreibt sowohl die Geschichte
des Tees als auch typische regionale Zubereitungsarten, und geht
uberdies auf seine kulturellen Bedeutungen ein. Es handelt sich
hierbei um eine englischsprachige Ausgabe
