Indra Nooyi's mantras for success

September 12, 2008

  • The toughest thing about transformation is letting your best friends and people you worked with for years leave and go off on their own.
  • To attract the best people, we have got to create an environment where people can actually balance life.
  • In every change agenda, there is always going to be a percentage of people -- like 10% or something -- that are not going to agree to the new agenda. They are the casualties of the change. If they have to go, they have to go.
  • A good company offers employees a career, not just a job. To describe it as a career shows that we have an enduring interest in someone. They are not here today, gone tomorrow and thanks for what we could take from you.
  • You should never wait until somebody is ready to say goodbye to tell them how much you value them.
  • Today's is a war for talent. People don't come into the company and stay for reasons other than compensation.
