Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

Hey, if I'm going to bring in, it's going to create all these new jobs, job dislocation,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

then I should help.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

I'm trying to help people get new skills.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

#362 โ€“ Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity

So I got to have other people with me.

Lex Fridman Podcast
