interview with comed’s ceo, anne pramaggiore
In this interview conducted for Gagen MacDonald’s “Let Go and Lead” series, ComEd’s President and CEO, Anne Pramaggiore talks about leadership and the importance of communications in corporate organizations. She elaborates on her leadership style, gives a nuanced reading of diversity, equality and inclusion, and explains how ComEd uses its “Powerful Voices” program to showcase the diversity of people who work at the organization.
According to her, hiring, retention and promotion is a numbers game and is easy to measure. The harder part is inclusion. Do the diverse voices in the organization really get heard? Are they part of the influence map of the organization? She posits that it is important for leaders to ensure that the people they lead are allowed to tell their stories so as to understand and value their diverse experiences and make them feel invested in the mission.
