Lex Fridman Podcast · #362 – Ginni Rometty: IBM CEO on Leadership, Power, and Adversity · 2 Mar 2023 podcast

The number one thing I would hire for now is somebody's willingness to learn.

You know, and you can test, you can try different ways, but their curiosity and willingness to learn, hands down, I will take that trait over anything else they have.

Everything changed.

And you can do testing.

I mean, we triangulated around it lots of ways.

And now look, at the heart of it, what it would do is change.

You don't think of buying skills.

You think of building skills.

And when you think that way, with so many people, and I think...

this country, many developed countries being disenfranchised, you got to bring them back into the workforce somehow.

And they got to get some kind of contemporary skills.

And if you took that approach, you can bring them back into the workforce.

You know, I saw it firsthand when we were beginning this path, you know, down the cloud and AI.

And people would say, oh, IBM, you know, it's existential.

They've got to change and all these things.

And I did hire a lot of people from outside, very willing to learn new things.

Come on in, come on in.

And I sometimes say shiny objects, trained in shiny objects.

Come on in.

But I saw something.
