Welcome back to This is Working with Daniel Roth ! We’ve got a new format that we’re excited to share with you. As a companion to LinkedIn’s This is Working video series, each podcast episode will now bring you select interview excerpts alongside post-interview insights from LinkedIn Editor-in-Chief Dan Roth and his co-host, Senior Producer Nina Melendez. They’ll look at top takeaways, reflect on big questions, and even share a bit of behind-the-scenes trivia. Nina and Dan will offer their own opinions - and we’re eager to hear yours as well. Jump into the conversation on LinkedIn by sharing a post or comment with the hashtag #ThisIsWorking, or drop us a line - you can reach us at [email protected].

In this episode, Dan and Nina discuss Dan’s recent conversation with Ginni Rometty, former Chairman and CEO of IBM, and author of the new book, GOOD POWER. They share excerpts of that conversation, discuss the ways that Ginni’s upbringing has influenced her leadership style, and dig in on whether it’s important for managers to be liked.
