We have a long way to go. In a recent edition of Author Talks, Indra Nooyi, former chairman and CEO of PepsiCo, discusses her book My Life in Full: Work, Family, and Our Future (Penguin Random House, September 2021). Reflecting on her own experience, the first woman of color and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company argues that winning the war for talent requires creating a new system in which women can both manage their families and climb to the top at work.
"Many women end up choosing, if they can afford it, to drop out of the paid labor force. … Some call this a 'leaky pipeline,' although I think that kind of language downplays the problem. The pipeline is way beyond 'leaky.' It is broken…," Nooyi writes in her book. "We still have relatively few women with the experience and fortitude to be considered for the position of CEO of a multibillion-dollar enterprise. This is a real issue because we are not enabling so many talented young women to achieve their full potential—a loss for the overall economy." Watch the full interview
