1- What are the risks if the current status quo is maintained and Ron remains CEO for a few more years?

• Ron is 70 years old. He might be too old too hold an important rank as CEO at his age. He is ineligible for an executive role as this one because of health conditions. It would be acting as a "monarch" and lead the members of the company whether they are family or not to leave.

• The position Ron would be entitled to would affect the growth of the company if he were to do as he would like to. Indeed he is in possession of all the voting shares. If he decides a wrong decision, or a wrong move in the company he might affect. Specially that at this age, the personality of a person changes a lot, specially toward taking risks, for it

• He feels that it would be harmful for him and for the company if he stays and fights for the leadership position.
• Michael felt that he was competing with his brother for the leader position and didn't want to get in to any problems with his brother.
• Ron's behavior of stubborn and acting as a monarch led Michael to leave.
• Even though Michael has a good relationship with his brother some tomes they didn't get along very well which decreased Michael's confidence that his father's plan will work.
• Ron wanted his two sons to manage the company together but Bob and Michael gave different personalities, goals and leadership styles which meant that they will not collaborate and Ron's plan will not work.
• Michael doesn't want to continue in this company because he has been working for four years and hasn't got any voting rights.
• The spouse of Michael felt "left-out", because she was always put aside and never could talk about business with her husband, because of the many issues of the firm. If he worked elsewhere he could talk freely about business with his wife.
• Mary's only consigliare in the company might also led to issues between Michael and his spouse.

    After watching the Xerox video and thinking about the characteristics for managerial decisions, made me have no envy for the CEO’s position. The typical characteristics of managerial decisions are lack of structure, uncertainty of risk, as well as conflict. In fact, the way the CEO obtained her position was full of uncertainty and I am sure there was conflict as well. The way the former CEO was forced out of office seemed to show a lack of structure with no contingency plan. There was a past scare of bankruptcy that may have future investors and employees questioning the structure of the company. The new CEO has made several positive moves for the company but is still forced to eliminate jobs to reduce costs.…

    Dick’s right hand is Julia, but he has made it clear that she will be running the show and be accountable for the complete operations in every aspect. For ten years, he has allowed her to bear the brunt of the burden. Aside from bankrolling the operation, and brainstorming, he was completely detached to making decisions that kept the company successful. Dick was in it as “a means for early retirement for himself, I wanted Leapfrog to thrive, not just survive” (Hitt et al., 2011, p. 571). Given that he was not completely committed, he is not capable of running the company operations when 4 of his 5 full time employees will be leaving the company in the same time period. Given the lack of replacements, no turnover/passdown period between oncoming and offgoing employees and no billet description, it is…

    Tom Waldron's The Wire

    Without a doubt, he was smart and loyal to his friends. But the most important trait that characterized Michael was how he was a responsible and parental figure to his little brother, Bug. As the author of the article The Foundation of a Free Society, which criticized the system, Tom Waldron says, “Students couldn’t stay after school, (…) they had to pick up younger siblings and watch over them. Like The Wire’s Michael Lee, they were already parents themselves” (Waldron 3). Michael had to mature fast and make decisions that would benefit him and his brother, who was his major concern. This situation was one of the main factors that drove him to change his escape path to the “slave boat”, the gang’s life. The pushing factor that threw him into Marlo’s hands was once his stepfather, who molested him at an early age, reappears in the story. For instance, in episode eight, there is a drastic change in Michael’s personality, he is afraid of what can happen now that this man is back into his life. He couldn’t count on his mother because she was submerged in her drug addiction, the system operations were not trustable, and the psychological damage provoked by the person who was supposed to “protect” him was too devastating to let it…

    The relationships in the text vary – Michael and Andrea are briefly happy but the outcome of this affair only adds to the gloomy nature of the story. When the novel begins it is clear that Michael’s and Moira’s marriage is over – Michael is already in an affair with a Canadian journalist named Andrea.
