Consider, for example, the release of the first iPod by Apple back in October 2001. If HP’s senior management had little faith in the profitability of the TouchPad tablet, it’s clear they didn’t discuss it with those they assigned to develop and market this new product line.

For a designer like myself, it''s easy to recognize which executives know their products intimately, and which manage from a spreadsheet. Fortunately, there is a great training ground for new UX leadership: the startup market. That''s a big change from only five years ago, when UX wasn''t on anyone''s radar outside the tech world.

Organizational leadership, we tend to assume, is akin to spatial navigation: Either leaders know where to take their company, and how to take it there — or they don't. At Microsoft, Eichenwald argues, leaders established "a corporate culture that by 2001 was heading down the path of self-immolating chaos."

The concern I expressed in the post was that these actions have become the standard by which CEOs are expected to manage. I, along with the rest of my management team and the board, agreed with the recommendation, and the drug was withdrawn. We had done a restructuring in 2001 with a significant number of layoffs.

Ask a buy-side analyst why Amazon or Apple fetches the price-earnings multiple they do, and inevitably the conversation turns to things like their ability to innovate, their capacity to capture and grow the best talent, their skill at managing brand and vendor relationships or ecosystems. If you can't measure it, how can you manage it?

Southwest’s decision in 2007 to hedge against increases in the price of jet fuel proved remarkably prescient. In 2007 AOL and Time Warner finally pulled the plug on the $350 billion 2001 merger that Time Warner chiefs Jeff Bewkes and Gerald Levin later called “ the biggest mistake in corporate history.”.

This position also meant that governments were continually intervening in markets with price-setting and regulations, as well as with government ownership. However, for many the costs of government intervention seemed to be worth the price. Today, one can view the widespread nationalization of many activities by Chavez in the same way.

It consumes 20% less fuel than an equivalent 767; which, given today's increasing fuel prices and airlines' diminishing profit margins, should make it an extremely desirable aircraft.

Paula encouraged me to talk with Paul because he “is the real thing when it comes to global business leadership.” The company had been without a CEO for nine months, the earnings and stock price were in the tank, good people were running for the exits, and multiple projects in recent years had failed. And in 2001, profits jumped to $2.2

Leadership then specifies a plan that it believes will position the company to win in this predicted future. This mindset focuses leadership on making near-term decisions with the longer-term destination in mind, but it doesn’t presume that there is only one path from here to there.

We’ve found that CEOs of big pharmaceutical companies, for example, are more likely to have a background as company lawyers, salespeople, or finance managers, than one in medicine or pharmaceutical R&D. For example, Terry Semel, who succeeded Tim Koogle as CEO of Yahoo in 2001, had a media marketing background at Warner Brothers.

Careerbuilder was initially a service that helped companies launch job listings and then managed the inbound application volume. It worked: venture capital poured in and the growth propelled the company to a $436 million sale to Yahoo in 2001. Careerbuilder hit the market in 1996. They had revenue, after all.
