Description
The inspiring memoir by Indra Nooyi, the trailblazing former CEO of PepsiCo
'A must-read for working women and the men who work with us, love us and support us' Hillary Rodham Clinton 'Surprising and compelling' Financial TimesThe first woman of colour and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company - and one of the foremost strategic thinkers of our time - Indra Nooyi redefined what it means to be an exceptional leader. She transformed PepsiCo with a unique vision, a vigorous pursuit of excellence and a deep sense of purpose.In this intimate and powerful memoir, Nooyi takes us through the events that shaped her and offers an inside look at PepsiCo, and her thinking as she steered the iconic company toward healthier products and reinvented its environmental profile, despite resistance at every turn.For the first time and in raw detail, Nooyi also lays bare the difficulties that came with managing her demanding job with a growing family. She makes an urgent, actionable call for how society can really blend work and family to unleash the economy's full potential.Generous, authoritative and grounded in lived experience, My Life in Full is the story of an extraordinary leader's life, a moving tribute to the relationships that created it and a blueprint for twenty-first-century prosperity.Reviews
With candour and good humour, Nooyi has written a wonderful book that brings her story to life, from her early years in India, surrounded by love and high expectations, to her determined efforts to succeed in the corporate world, all the while questioning the trade-offs she had to make. She reveals just how our society continues to sacrifice talent instead of changing how we organize work to maximize everyone's potential to live full and productive lives. A must-read for working women and the men who work with us, love us and support us. -- Hillary Rodham Clinton
Gritty, joyous, and visionary, Nooyi tells the story of an everyday person living an extraordinary life, leading beautifully and confidently from the front. A must-read for all. -- Ursula M. Burns, former chair and CEO of Xerox, author of Where You Are Is Not Who You Are
'CEO' and 'care' do not usually go together, but for Indra Nooyi, they always have. Rather than offering us a list of policy prescriptions, she shows us what is possible when businesses care about family and families have time to care for one another. -- Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO of New America, author of Unfinished Business
We have so much to learn from Nooyi's remarkable story and wisdom on lifting up girls and women in the decades to come. She shares a great road map for anyone who aspires to merge social change with leading a large organization. -- Matt Damon, actor, screenwriter, producer
Nooyi's honesty, integrity, and humour shine through at every turn. Truly inspiring. -- Mindy Kaling, actor, writer, producer, director
An extraordinary window into the life, career, and family of a brilliant business strategist. A terrific addition to the story of American business. -- Brian Cornell, CEO of Target Corp.
An amazing read, filled with lessons, optimism, warmth, and heart, about an extraordinary woman who rose to be a fantastic role model for all women. -- Sofia Vergara, actor
