‘Herewith appear to be the most pressing matters; one, infective and inexperienced entrepreneurial leadership. Two, the dialectic nature between front of house and back of house, and three, a lack of general training motivation and direction in original concept.’

There are many “Industrial Tycoons” nowadays, but few compare to some of the great Entrepreneurs many years before.

Marshall Field’s designed a personal shopper assistance program called Tip to Toe shop (107). These assistances helped put together an entire outfit, with pieces collected throughout the store (107). Shoppers didn’t even have to be in the store to benefit from this program (107).

During the 1930s as well as today traveling around the country is a considerable way to enjoy vacation days and business trips. For white people back then its was an effortless process to get from place to place. However, African Americans had a difficult time traveling without being un- harmed, embarrassed and awkward. So Victor H. Green published a book called “The Green Book”, a guide for all African American travelers. It was a bold and thoughtful way to help the African American community by allowing them to travel around the country without any worry of people harming them or disrespecting them. I felt that this book assist several people to experience freedom by roaming around the country. The Green Book was composed of alternate ways

Harry Rosen thrives in presenting its customers with a visual image that they can be confident in regardless of the occasion. When customers come in and see how the mannequins are dressed, it automatically sparks different ideas in their mind in terms of how they want to be dressed. However, the problem with the mannequins at Harry Rosen is that it is not changed on regular basis and is changed close to every 2 months. That is a problem because customers want new ideas; they want to be shown a new outfit that they might have never thought of, different colors, different combinations. When the mannequins are not changed on regular basis, it also tells the customers that there is no new merchandise in the store, thus making it difficult for the associates in selling the merchandise, as customers don’t want to buy merchandise that is not in fashion or season for that matter. As this trend continues, it would lead to customers being dissatisfied and possibly loss of customers to competition. Having Mannequins is a must in retail, but knowing where to position and place those mannequins is also a must. The whole purpose of Mannequins is to attract the customer's eye and place it in such way where it is visible to customers at all times. Harry Rosen's mannequins are placed in such manner where it is not visible to anyone from the outside, thus making it less attractive for someone who doesn’t know what Harry

A great man once said, “In order to succeed, we must first believe we can”, this great man is Gandhi. I’m not sure how many times I’ve heard I can’t finish school, I can’t go after my dream, I can’t be who I believe I need to be because people like me don’t succeed. Maybe you personally believe that, maybe someone close to you has said that to you, or maybe it’s just the statistics in the environment you’re in. No one but you knows your situation, but it’s also your choice how you want to change that. Want some examples on who prospered? How about Liz Murray, Oprah Winfrey, and Marshall Mathers III? These three people grew up in situations where they should’ve thought, “maybe I won’t be getting out of here, and maybe I can’t go to college, or become famous.” I will be talking about these three people and how they achieved their goal. How they overcame the odds that were thrown at them, and show you that you too can succeed.

Andrew Carnegie once claimed that “No man becomes rich unless he enriches others.” Carnegie, alongside other captains of industry, such as Cornelius Vanderbilt, pioneered the pairing of entrepreneurship and philanthropy, through inspiring leadership. He witnessed the poverty and destitution of the time and led both the business and philanthropic communities, alike, in the effort to better society. He was an entrepreneurial and philanthropic leader due to his commitment to his vision and his continual recognition of the potential he had to thwart society’s injustice and misdeeds. Consequently, with an undying commitment to one’s endeavors, as well as constant recognition of what one can do in order to combat the wrongs of the world, true, impactful leadership can form at the intersection of philanthropy and entrepreneurship.

Another strength might have been its slightly odd, socialist structure. John Lewis Partnership is owned by its employees who share out a bonus pot every year. All decisions are made by the partners and on the partner’s behalf. This structure of the Partnership that might be a hindrance to growth in the good times, appears to have galvanised employees in the bad times, since staff turnover – the percentage of staff who leave every year – was 12pc, compared with a retail average of

Ralph Oelrichs, or my grandfather is someone that not only is successful but also is someone that can be used as a role model. He owned his own contracting business for 37 years. That alone can be considered successful but he also built his own house that 2 children were raised and was married to one woman for 58 years. Of course there are things that need to be focused on or improved on when in the building industry. However with Oelrichs there was not anything material that the he really focused on. When he first started his own company he admitted “I’m not a talkative person or conversational person. I needed to work on talking to people”. Clearly Oelrichs didn’t seem to be confident or powerful when he first entered business. According

In this case, we have really two different points of view: in one side, there is Philip Anderson, the Phoenix branch manager of Stuart & Co., who manages a team with his ways, his idea, his experience but the results do not reach the targets fixed by the firm.
