In our last discussion, I believe that everyone in this course is ready to move forward in their path to the success, and always learning by different leaders. In this case Alan Mullaly is one of the greatest leaders of the century , not just because is a good guy, also for his leadership style ,the way how he lead Ford, because before Allan Mullally was hired Ford had lost in the way. He took over as Ford CEO in September 2006 during that time he knows a little bit about of the automobile industry because in the past he was the CEO of Boeing. I believe that it was the right decision to hire Mullaly because when he was working at Boeing he made different contributions in the development of the company. At that time…
After being in a market for X amount of years and being successful, other people will try to get in to get a piece of the pie. We have seen this over the years with numerous different products / services. One that I can think of off the top of my head was the evolution of online media. I remember as a kid when AIM “AOL Instant Messenger” was the coolest way to communicate with your friends and family. A couple years after that MySpace was introduced to the public and that went viral as well. Today we have numerous sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Myspace is actually still around as well, Instagram, and so on. The point that I’m making is eventually you will encounter competition and as time goes on ideas are constantly being used up!…

T.J. Rodgers management style is described as aggressive, rigorous and down right in your face. As CEO, Chief Executive of Cypress Semiconductor and author of the book, “No Excuses Management”, Rodgers has developed an almost fear inducing management style. On the wall of his San Jose, California office hangs a plaque that reads, “BE REALISTIC, DEMAND THE IMPOSSIBLE” which exemplifies exactly what Rodgers expects from his employees, Perfection! At Cypress he disregards anyone who engages in what he considers sloppy thinking and no one is shielded from his wrath.

Two very passionate people with very simple beginnings, but through different tactics and philosophies helped usher in a new age. Travis Kalanick and Oprah Winfrey’s individual contributions change the way we see and do things. Travis Kalanick’s and Oprah Winfrey are similar in that they are both very influential leaders in their perspective areas of expertise: Travis’s hands-on management style is assertive and aggressive, and in leading his team he controls things. His “play-by-play” leadership style rarely allows him to be “out of control.” His demeanor exudes confidence, determination, but also a little hurt and anger… but with great passion, principle, elasticity and resilience, preconceived notions, seriousness, a little arrogance and…

At the age of 23, Terry Gau borrowed $7,500 from his mother to start his own manufacturing business out of a rented shed in suburban Taipei. (Balfour & Culpan, 2010). After 20 years gaining position and power within the technology manufacturing industry Gau leveraged his efforts to launch the company now known as Foxconn Technology and has since grown it to almost a million employees in 9 countries with almost $50 Billion in assets. (Foxconn, 2013). Estimates of Gau’s personal worth at between 6 and 10 Billion dollars though he claims to have little interest in that figure, stating in a 2010 Bloomberg Business week interview that, “I am working not for money at this moment, I am working for society, I am working for my employees.” Now in his 60’s Gau has begun planning his succession at the head of his company with a focus on executives in their 30s and 40’s who have proven “themselves by running their units assertively.” (Dean, 2007). Terry Gau sees himself as a benevolent dictator as is evidenced in both his behaviors and in his words; “The important thing in any organization is leadership, not management. A leader must have the decisive courage to be a dictator for the common good.” (Dean, 2007).…
Many people have studied, and written about Steve Jobs management style, and for good reason. Jobs is able to keep his company highly productive while at the same time being very lax, and not interfering with the employees’ creative process. What stands out most about Steve Jobs leadership style, is that he is extremely charismatic. People often say there is an “aura” about Jobs that makes him very easy to respect, and follow. Employees enjoy working with Jobs, because they feel inspired, correct, and important. John Sculley, from Fortune magazine was walking through the Apple headquarters with Jobs and had this to say of him, “…it became clear that he wasn’t just another general manager bringing a visitor along to meet another group of employees. He and many of Apple’s leaders weren’t managers at all; they were impresarios…Not unlike the director of an opera company, the impresario must cleverly deal with the creative temperaments of artists…His gift is to merge powerful ideas with the performance of his artists.” Apple has many departments, from PCs, to laptops, to MP3 players, and even cellular phones. Jobs has to manage these departments, and see to it that each department is on goal with that of Apples plan. Apple employs some of the world’s greatest minds, which can be hard to manage. Jobs does an excellent job of keeping all people on track with Apples vision. He is able to do this by being a visionary charismatic leader, and focus on the long term. Apple has not…
