Lead Bigger with Anne Chow | 253

This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

Leadership is no longer just about who sits at the head of the table—it’s about making sure everyone has a seat at the table. In this episode, I’m joined by a groundbreaking leader who embodies this philosophy. Anne Chow, the first woman and the first woman of color to become CEO at AT&T Business, shares her insights on leading outside the traditional mold and embracing inclusion as a transformative leadership tool.

During her time at AT&T Business, Anne led over 35,000 employees, serving 3 million business customers globally. Today, she continues to lead as the Lead Director on the board of Franklin Covey, as a board member for 3M and CSX, and as a faculty member at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Her book, Lead Bigger: The Transformative Power of Inclusion, offers actionable strategies for leading with authenticity and challenging the status quo—my kind of leadership!

Anne Chow’s no-nonsense approach challenges us to rethink leadership—not just as a title or a position, but as an inclusive practice. Because when we lead inclusively, we lead bigger—and we bring out the best in everyone.

So LEAD well and lead BIG!
