Ginni Rometty’s Good Power redefines leadership as a force for ethical, inclusive, and transformative change—rooted in service, empathy, and resilience.
In Good Power: Leading Positive Change in Our Lives, Work, and World, former IBM CEO Ginni Rometty blends personal memoir with leadership philosophy to present a compelling vision of influence used for the collective good. Drawing from her journey—from modest beginnings to leading one of the world’s largest tech companies—Rometty introduces the concept of “good power”: the ability to lead with integrity, respect, and a commitment to enabling others. She explores how technology, especially AI, can be harnessed responsibly to solve global challenges, and offers practical strategies for individuals and organizations to drive meaningful progress. Through vivid anecdotes and actionable insights, Rometty challenges traditional notions of authority, advocating for a leadership style that builds belief, navigates tension, and prioritizes enduring values over short-term wins.
