Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive of Nvidia, a maker of graphics chips, shows what transformational leadership is and how it is created by continually striving through failures and a strong sense of humility. Mr. Huang admits that he never was intimidated by failures growing up and that as Nvidia was in its early stages, the company experienced an exceptional level of failures that continued to challenge its very existence.

What is so effective about this allegory as a means to communicate leadership is the need for decisiveness and a focus on the customer, along with an acute sense of time and its incredible value as a resource. In his responses to the interviewers' questions it is clear he is thinking in these terms as a leader, working to triage the myriad of disruptions him and his organization face daily, choosing only the most significant to respond to. He has to in the business he's in, as the pace of computer graphics chip lifecycles is extremely rapid.
