The Next Generation of Leaders

Indra Nooyi shares ideas for empowering talent

Senior leaders in companies of all sizes face a range of unprecedented challenges, and few are more complex—or more important—than the need to continually grow and advance their workforce. Hardly a day goes by without leaders hearing about game-changing technologies like generative AI—and how companies need to evolve by incorporating new tools into their operations and service models.

Yet for seasoned leaders like Indra Nooyi, the former Chairman and CEO of PepsiCo, it's not enough for executives to pay lip service to change or delegate it to subordinates. According to Nooyi, leaders need to be the ones spearheading transformation and persistently working behind the scenes to enable a culture of innovation by promoting inclusivity and amplifying everyone's voices—not just those at the top.

In this Q&A with Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management, Nooyi reflects on her 13 years helming PepsiCo and shares insights about how today's leaders can shape the leaders of tomorrow by catalyzing innovative thinking and fostering talent that is empowered to think differently.
