Introduction

Maureen Chiquet visits Google to discuss her book "Beyond the Label: Women, Leadership & Success in Our Own Terms". The book charts her unlikely path from literature major to global chief executive, guiding readers to move beyond the confines of staid expectations and discover their own true paths, strengths, and leadership values. Driven. Shy. Leader. Wife. Mother. We live in a world of categories — labels designed to tell the world, and ourselves, who we are and ought to be. Some we may covet, others we may fear or disdain; but creating a life that’s truly your own, means learning to define yourself on your own terms. Through vivid storytelling and provocative insights, Maureen’s book guides readers to consider the pressing questions and inherent paradoxes of creating a successful, fulfilling life in today’s increasingly complex and competitive world. Originally published in August of 2017.
