    1. Simon Brocklebank Fowler is a great CEO and an even better leader. He can sell anything. Simon obviously has perfected many organizational behavior concepts as he has grown throughout his lifetime even though he did not elaborate on which ones specifically. Simon went to Cambridge, which is a top level secondary school in the UK. Simon ended up switching from a history major to finance and ended up working for a bank. Simon also ended up running for Parliament but was unsuccessful, although he did learn a lot through that experience. Along with working for a bank, Simon also has worked for a consultant agency and as a price performance salesman. He worked for a failing franchise and had to sell things straight on his credibility alone. Simon stated that he had to do a lot of research to help sell his pitch to his consumers. He ended up being promoted in 3 months because he worked so hard on his pitches and was blowing all of the veterans out of the water. He then ended up going to Citigate, which is a smaller firm, but he actually had people working for him which gave him leverage. Citigate went from 200 to 2,000 people in 4 years in different countries making this company a global company. By making Citigate a global company, their profits grew significantly in size and increased the brand recognition of Citigate. Simon is a great leader in many ways. When he walks into a room, you can feel his presence. Simon does not only look in the presence, but in the future as well. He told our class, “ask yourself ever year what does success look like in 1 year? How about in 10 years?” Simon knows that the world is always adapting and is telling us we have to adapt with it if we want to be successful. Simon is also always trying to get better. He told us, “Is what your doing right now making your boat go faster?” This means that whatever your focus is on today, is it going to help…

    This study analyzes and discusses three shortcomings that prevented investment portfolio manager David Fletcher of Jenkins, Fletcher Partners (JFP) from realizing his team oriented operational expectations. His failures were attributed to poor personnel management, the inability to effectively select or establish team structure, and the failure to devise the appropriate incentives to motivate and reward employees. After careful review it is recommended that Fletcher must invest in personnel and team management training for himself, take a measured approach to create and sustain team structure and culture, and institute an incentive plan that fosters motivation and rewards the contributions of both the individual and the team. It is imperative that Fletcher learn the skills needed to recognize and balance the competing constraints within a team environment.

    Warren Buffett is one of those amazing CEOs, who is down-to-earth, well-respected, and not always known to the masses. Indeed, he owns some of the most recognizable companies in North America like Dairy Queen and Fruit of the Loom, but many people, in fact, do not know this. They do not readily recall his personal name, nor the name of his company, Berkshire Hathaway. That is probably the most special thing about Buffett, what makes him endearing to the general public. He is a billionaire icon in the business world, but to people around him, he is an everyday person doing his job.…

    ORIT GADIESH The Early Years I was born in Israel and grew up there. My father was born in Berlin. My mother was born in Kiev. They came to Israel because of World War II. When I was born, my father was in the military. He decided that the army should be well organized and well run, so he went to business school when he was still in the army and then came back and reorganized the army. He then left and became a CEO. He was actually considered the first professional CEO in Israel. I went into the army like everybody does. I ended up working for the number two person in the military after the chief of staff. It was a pretty exciting place to be because all of the information—everything actually—was coordinated through there. I learned to deal with an awful lot of information, to be very responsible, and to work long hours. But also, when there were events going on, I was in the war room, which is a pretty confined space, and I learned to have respect for other people but also not to be intimidated by them, because they’re people. I think that really helped me later on throughout my career. I also saw people making really important decisions, life and death decisions, and I realized that you can’t always afford to have perfect information, 100 percent of what you need, in order to make a decision. Later on, when I think about the way we do business at Bain, where we emphasize providing clients with solutions that are practical rather than perfect and where we often have to make decisions based on imperfect information, I think back to those days. And it just reinforces the idea that you can’t always have perfect information in order to make a decision. I think I was too young to understand that fully at the time but it has certainly influenced me. The army also exposed me to all different kinds of people. The Israeli army brings together people from many different cultures because Israel is very much an immigrant country; it still is. The Israeli is a little bit…
