Leadership
The specific attributes that I think will be best for a CEO during this of transition are as follows: Innovation leadership, vision, motivation. The CEO is going to be expected to be a leader, but there are different types of leadership. Transformational leadership is something from which Yellow Company will benefit. There are a few reasons for this. The first is that we have new products and businesses coming on stream, and these need to be integrated with the vision. In addition, we have expanded through mergers and acquisitions of late, and we need to integrate these other organizations into our own, under a common corporate culture and banner. It is important, therefore, that the leader is able to establish a long-term vision that transcends this short-term period of change. Then the leader needs to get the company, including the new acquisitions, to buy into this vision. The vision will feature innovation, since that is a core part of our mission. Thus, the leader needs to be able to create an environment that encourages creativity and innovation rather than stifling it. The combination of innovation leadership, grand vision and ability to motivate is compelling and will be what I look for in a new CEO -- the soft skills to go along...
It's a two-part question and gets right to the heart of the matter. What's your vision for Yellow Company, and how will you execute this vision? I want a CEO candidate who has done his or her homework and knows this company well enough to have coherent answers to these questions. I'm not interested in a vague answer that any business school undergrad could give -- I want specifics. I am not looking for somebody who is uncertain about their vision, and I certainly don't want to hire a CEO who needs to learn on the job for six months. This company needs leadership and it needs it now.
In this answer, I'm also curious to hear what the candidate says, or doesn't say, about shareholders and share-based financial measures. The reason is simple -- if they start going on about shareholder returns, EPS and that sort of thing I'm not interested. Great vision doesn't start with worrying about pennies per share over last year's quarter. My job is to make the best choice on behalf of the shareholders and I imagine the shareholder to be a long-term shareholder. I don't care about value for day traders and people…

Leadership style of the CEO of Google Inc. using situational leadershi Larry Page and Sergey Brin met at the Stanford University in 1995 and by 1996, they built first search initially called BackRub, which used links to establish the importance of the individual web pages.

job of the CEO of a company is to show leadership not just when everything is going smoothly but when there is conflict, when there is uncertainty, and when the organizational situation enters into a situation with complexities that are new and unsettling. This paper references the existing scholarly literature in terms of providing ideas, strategies -- to be used as organizational tools -- that are available to the
Some might say I am too exacting, too much of a perfectionist. But working with children has and will continue to make me more accepting of the need to 'break eggs' to make an omelet, to tolerate disorder to realize a goal. Even at the formal operations stage, an adult must know that his or her cherished philosophical goals and abstractions are not shared by everyone. It is necessary
