Indra Nooyi, Former CEO of PepsiCo, on Nurturing Talent in Turbulent Times

For episode 2 of the HBR video series “The New World of Work”, editor in chief Adi Ignatius sits down with former chairman and CEO of PepsiCo, Indra Noori, to discuss her ideas for how the corporate world needs to evolve. She pushes for leaders to realize the importance of their role in setting the tone to achieve equitable workplaces. Diversity is about numbers, she says, while inclusiveness is a mindset–a mindset that needs to come from the top. She also talks about steps necessary to realize a more humane form of capitalism, one that realizes that workers are the engines of the economy and that they all come from families, communities, and larger contexts that need to be part of the discussion around what fair work looks like.
