Former IBM CEO Ginni Rometty delivers a powerful combination of
memoir, leadership lessons, and big ideas on how we can all drive
meaningful change. 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.
