Description
Summary:"Indra Nooyi, the trailblazing former CEO of PepsiCo, offers 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"--
The first woman of color and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company, Nooyi transformed PepsiCo with a unique vision, a vigorous pursuit of excellence, and a deep sense of purpose. Now her memoir offers a firsthand view of a legendary career-- and the sacrifices it so often demanded. From her childhood and early education in 1960s India, to an inside look at PepsiCo, Nooyi makes a clear, actionable, urgent call for business and government to prioritize the care ecosystem, paid leave and work flexibility, and a convincing argument for how improving company and community support for young family builders will unleash the economy's full potential. -- adapted from jacket
