Good Power

Ginni Rometty

Understanding how to use your positive influence to help others is a skill that evolves with time, as the "others" you serve change throughout life. Initially, your focus may be on family, as seen in Rometty’s story, where she stepped up to care for her siblings after her father’s abandonment, inspiring them to become self-reliant. Later, in her professional journey at IBM, she prioritized understanding her clients’ needs, exemplified by her work with Allstate, where her team conducted groundbreaking research to deliver tailored solutions. As IBM’s CEO, her sense of service expanded to the broader community through initiatives like the SkillsFirst campaign, which emphasized skills over degrees, opening doors to well-paying tech jobs and benefiting millions. True service requires empathy, understanding, and a commitment to exceeding expectations, whether through offering practical solutions or empowering others as a mentor. By fostering growth and addressing needs, positive influence becomes a powerful force for lasting impact.
