Searching for a Great Place to Work
In 1995, Larry Page met Sergey Brin when he visited Stanford University as a prospective graduate student in computer science. Although they did not initially hit it off, a year later, they were collaborating on a new search engine called BackRub. By 1998, they had investors and incorporated Google, the new name of their search engine and the name of their new business venture. From the beginning, Page and Brin realized that happy, motivated employees were at the center of successful organizations. Karen May, current Vice-president of People Development at Google shares their vision, “Imagine a world where most organizations were the best place to work. Imagine what we could be getting done on the planet if this were true.”
Google has grown quickly, from a two-person operation to a company with more than 55,000 employees in 40 countries. Google has become famous for its over-the-top perks, such as on-site bowling alleys and pool tables, free haircuts…
Robin, founder and CEO of Greenwash.com, is a person who exudes energy, enthusiasm, and drive. He's fun-loving but has pursued his vision for Greenwash.com with serious intensity and has demonstrated an ability to inspire his employees through the ups and downs of a rapidly growing company. Robin is what the employees call a charismatic leader that is, an enthusiastic, self-confident leader whose personality and actions influence people to behave in certain ways.
You are required to analyse the charismatic leadership using the theories and examples as much as you can.

While most changes are slight and do not disrupt operation, embarking on a planned organizational culture change is different because it is a lengthy process and requires buy-in from all stakeholders for successful implementation. That is why change is often initiated after an organization is a "burning platform" (Siren, Anthony, and Bhatt, 2022, p. 50). Of course, even with the best designed plan for change, challenges are inevitable. Burke (2018) offers a perspective of the change process as "usually linear", however, the actual implementation is chaotic and requires adaptability every step of the way (p.10). Most importantly, the pace of change today is different than in the past, therefore, organizations need to consider their approach to change to remain competitive. As you reflect on your professional experience, why is implementing organizational culture change especially challenging, and as a rule takes longer than anticipated?…arrow_forward

- Oscar Munoz started as United’s CEO in 2015, by March 2017 named “Communicator of the Year” by PRWeek. Unfortunately, he fell from grace a month later due to United’s botched response to a flight-related incident.106 SUNDAY, APRIL 9: CHAOS ON FLIGHT 3411 A fully booked United flight 3411 was preparing to depart from Chicago to Louisville when gate agents realized that four airline crew members needed to get to Louisville. The gate agents asked for four volunteers to give up their seats in return for compensation. No one accepted United’s offer because the flight was the last one to Louisville that evening. United then decided to enact an “involuntary de-boarding situation,” in which four random passengers were directed to deplane. Three of the passengers deplaned without incident. The fourth, Dr. David Dao, refused, saying “I can’t get off the plane. I have to get home. I’m a doctor.
