Description
Today’s guest is Indra Nooyi, the former Chairman and CEO of PepsiCo.
Indra is an incredibly accomplished leader. In her twelve years in charge at PepsiCo, she navigated all kinds of challenges – a global recession, major restructuring, sweeping changes in consumer habits. And yet, in those same twelve years, PepsiCo sales had risen by 80%.
That kind of leadership is impressive. But what’s even more impressive is how Indra does it – by looking for ways to elevate others and build them up. She intentionally carves out opportunities for the people she serves.
And this isn’t just pie in the sky stuff. It’s practical. In this episode, Indra goes into detail about PepsiCo’s leadership development and retention strategies. She talks about increasing diversity and calling out bias. And she shares her own story as a woman of color and immigrant from India.
Great leaders intentionally elevate the people they serve. And that’s the big leadership lesson waiting for you in this episode today.
You’ll also learn:
Creative ways to celebrate your team (including one you HAVE to try)
Specific strategies to boost diversity and inclusion
How to stick to a vision, even when the naysayers are (very!) loud
The one mistake you should never make when communicating during a crisis
How to call out workplace bias
The single biggest thing consultants can do to add value
The six paragraphs Indra reads every week to stay inspired
What it’s like working with Jeff Bezos as a board member for Amazon
