In her book "Good Power," former IBM CEO Ginni Rometty challenges the negative connotations often associated with the concept of power. She argues that power can be a force for good, and that building belief is at the heart of good power. Building belief involves creating an environment in which people voluntarily want to do something, rather than being ordered to do so out of fear. Rometty suggests that co-creating the future with others, rather than dictating it, is a key element of building belief. It is important to make the process personal by showing empathy for those involved and being authentic and honest about the challenges ahead.
Rometty draws on her own experiences to illustrate these principles. For example, when IBM acquired PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting, she acknowledged the risks involved and showed empathy for the changes employees would have to go through. Ultimately, Rometty believes that building belief and empowering others - rather than attempting to sway them with money - is key to being a successful leader. She urges leaders to focus on building their own power first and then using that power to influence and inspire others toward a common goal.

How do you think people can use power for good?
Simply, the power of my mind can make a joke that makes people smile. This effect can be amplified as far as the mind can imagine.
Elon Musk.
she is a great woman! a source of inspiration, it is the exact formula to be a sublime leader.
resemble goodness, make bonds with people, help and push, uplift good values.
people think that to be a leader is to work hard or be manipulative, but in a good society with goodhearted people it is a enormous misconception.
the dependency is :
better person better leader.
i say it from experience, and horde of books in this subject.
thanks for this jubilant video. 💚 from israel 🙂
🕍 to any one.
of course you can always improve and learn more but it is the foundation stone.
2:46 1. Don’t dictate, co-create
3:15 2. Make it personal
4:14 3. Be authentic
Thank you so much for inspiring us😊
Genious!! Thank you!! I loved this one ❤ is going to be very helpful for my comittee meeting on Monday 🎉
0:42 - I really like what she had said. Especially, at this point in the video.
Awe👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Emotional intelligence is the cornerstone of a great leader harnessing power for good. And being a leader is in truth being a servant at heart.
Thanks
I think the most important quality to have, and also the hardest to maintain, is to admit we don’t know everything. Say what we know and admit what we don’t, otherwise we’ll stay in our own fabricated world.
Former IBM CEO Ginni Rometty reveals the secret to “good power.” In this video, she talks about how to lead with empathy and how to use power for good. She also shares her experience of being a woman in a male-dominated industry and how she overcame challenges.
Here is an outline of the video:
Introduction
Ginni’s experience as a woman in a male-dominated industry
How to lead with empathy
How to use power for good
You mean empathy, like firing "babydinosaurs" , divesting R&D units and running the company into the ground?
Inspiration, wow, okay. Love it!
Useful video
❤ it!!!
CIA: "Yeah we use power in different ways..."
All do
Nsa : "I'm gonna go ahead and need you to use these alphabet agencies and numbers stations because reasons"
Lmao
Hey 0:30 momma got the heavy bags. 😛
Excellent video.
Yeah! Thank you for all...
Thank You . . . 1 Eye . . .
Excellent
“With great power comes great responsibility”
-Ben Parker/Stan Lee
With great responsibility comes great power
Both probably.
We find this video inspiring. Keep up the good work.
Seriously IBM, yeah that's some 'good power' u have...
By has to be or have to be, I was out. Knowing she is gonna talk about her ilussions of her mind( that Changes weekly)
That's why IBM not #1 IT compamy anymore. It's even not in top 20 NASDAQ!
Thanks. You made my day.
IBM isn’t listed on NASDAQ
Your content is compelling to the core. A book I read with similar lessons had a life-altering impact. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight
eh
The very quote Micheal Angelo hit my nervous system to hit that like
Warning! Platitude overload!
😍🤩😘
Power is simply the ability to manipulate outcomes better than others (a measure), the end.
Superman has so much power it can bend even the future of human kind and the Sun has even more as a power source for all living creatures that find balance around it.
This is pure unadulterated self aggrandisement. This is not thinking this is propoganda
I am interested, how so?
@@lorenzoplaserrano8734 I do good power. Everything i do is good and positive. I make people believe. Everything was bad in Japan then i turned up and did nothing (despite being CEO of a massive company) i mean seriously? I bought a well known consultancy firm and made them feel wonderful. Then be authentic. I mean come on. This is just guff.
@@PhantomRaspberryBlower I definitely agree with you, especially when she said, "I could do nothing but listen..." But I do think her advice about building beliefs within people and focusing on the emotions we invoke is extremely valuable.
Great advice 👍🏾
Good people do not seek power.
No CEO of a company this large can be a good person, people must be stepped on along the way. “Good” power, what a joke
Thank you Ginni - these lines of thinking communicating and implementation are very important for young and older manager/owners alike. You can teach an old dog new tricks, old dogs can adapt, new dogs are knowledge hungry. I am soon to be 69 and I learn something every day...new startup launching soon, no reason to stop when its still fun and it's only (still) fun due to attitude. Be well.
3:44 Nailed it - as I veered into young adulthood and even now at 35 I always have this insecurity I’m blowing it at managing money. Even as I have a savings, investments, bitcoin, passive income… somehow everyone else who appears to be doing better than me, surely MUST be more savvy than me. Nice to know I’m not alone.

🕍 to any one.
why? she failed and cost many people their livelihoods.
Did it ever work on anybody apart from young girls trying to impress their lovers? Flowery words doesn't help solve real problems.
Such as BLACK POWER 🔥🔥 most powerful of them all !!
ummm no.
Lolwtf calm down Blitler.
racist
What if we cooperated without self-inflicted division by race?
In your dreams 😂
For leaders: "By this axe, i rule".
End of story.
Nice in theorie but idiots and assholes will break your spirit
Look, you don't need all these "points", you only need one:
Lead by example.
That's it. Everything else in bs.
Power brings change, unless it is to please anyone or any-other it is just and good.
It's power that brings change therefore cultivates the brain's neuro cortex. Thank you
I've known people who believe that I should hold the opinion of them that they hold themselves- but I've learned that saying that you're "good" doesn't mean that you ARE good. Ignoring the grey area between good and white for a moment, I found a lot of the things that she said to be somewhat creepy. I looked at her Wikipedia page and discovered she was a driving force behind artificial intelligence. Artists and writers have been warning us against the dangers of AI for decades if not longer. I tend to be a bit fearful of anyone who doesn't have a fear of technology. Most of the darker predictions are coming true and I just don't see that there's a huge light side to the ongoing tech evolution. It's evolving faster than we are and that scares me. I listen to her and think that for all her talk about good power, she's more a part of the problem than the solution. The meek may inherit the earth but only after tech geeks and clueless corporate types have destroyed it.
Why banal statements, mere common sense becomes ‘Big Think’ just because it got out from a former IBM CEO’s mouth!?
Exactly, and dozens of commenters with these platitudes. This is all overwhelmingly obvious.
Love this. It's so true, don't treat people like slaves or property and you'd be amazed what people can do (we have a saying here called pay peanuts get monkies.) as in people need to reign in their un achievable expectations treat me like a person make me feel welcomed and like I belong and they'll return the feeling 10 fold
If you are the coach, your listners are really efckd.
do not forgwt to be evil...
She led us through 20-something consecutive year-over-year quarterly losses. The bleeding didn't stop until she left. She was one of the worst CEOs and IBM's history. Too much focus on woke crap instead of IBM's technical competencies.
like 24 quarters of revenue loss. Here's the only rule you can learn from her: don't be her. But she did somehow personally made millions as her company failed. So I guess listen if you want to learn how to grift. What a joke.
I wonder what her opinion is of IBM's involvement in the holocaust
Bruh, she isnt even born yet when the holocaust happened
@@georgesoros4223 I will let you know when I care. Go ahead and hold your breath
Useful video
