When I was leading a function or a business, there were certain demands and requirements to be a leader. As you move up the organization, the requirements for leading that organization don't grow vertically; they grow exponentially.” DifferentMovingCertainGrowsLevelsLeaderOne ThingDemandOrganizationFunctionVariousI Have LearnedRequirementsCeo Author:Indra Nooyi

“One thing I'd do was put a great writer's book beside the typewriter and... type out a beautiful and moving paragraph... and see those sentences rising up... and... think, 'Someday maybe I can write like that....'
