The enclosed CEO Rhetorical Analysis Report was written per your request to research a Chief Executive Officer and analyze his or her leadership style. The CEO I chose is a successful woman who is well-known for her struggles in life and her greatest accomplishments on television. In 1988, after being in the television world for so many years in various fields (television host, anchor, actress, producer); she opened her own production company and became CEO at Harpo Production. I am pleased to tell you about Oprah Winfrey’s life story and how it influenced her leadership style as a CEO.
After fully analyzing Winfrey’s history and achievements, I’ve concluded that she entails a transformational leadership style. In just a few years she surpassed the head of the national talk show host in ratings and started the beginnings of her leadership style by revolutionizing the talk show genre, making positive changes for those around the world, and being charismatic to many individuals.
I have found Winfrey’s leadership style to be inspirational. She has made such a difference in the television network and continues to break barriers for others. Her leadership style has made her known as the one of the most influential woman in the world. If you would like to further discuss Winfrey’s background, leadership style, or have any questions please contact me via email or phone provided below.
Thank you,
