Summary
Hershey CEO Michele Buck on Empowering Internal Change Agents 26 Apr 2022 --- Michele Buck is the first female CEO in The Hershey Company’s history, and the company has been recognized as one of America’s most female-friendly corporations. She also has a rich personal story, coming from humble roots in central Pennsylvania, and she worked her way through college before getting an MBA. HBR editor in chief Adi Ignatius sat down with Buck in this episode of our video series “The New World of Work” to talk about: • Leadership innovations she’s made at Hershey like tapping internal change agents. • Serving customers during the height of the pandemic. • Advice for helping women make progress in the workforce. This interview part of a series called “The New World of Work,” which explores how top-tier executives see the future and how their companies are trying to set themselves up for success.
