Learning Activity #2

Keep in your thoughts for LA2-

The 20^thcentury was about moving goods while the 21^stcentury is about moving people.

In light of the new business environment for the 21^stCentury described in LA1, how will the role of the business leader change? Based on your reading and the results of LA1 create a “persona” for two ideal leaders one for the ideal 20^thcentury leader and one for the 21^stideal leader. Include everything from the type of business, the way they might run it, characteristics, values, relationship to employees, who they are male, female, American, Chinese, what their job will be etc. Once you have described these two people, go on the internet and research leaders, start with our in class material for ideas as to who, to see if you can identify one business leader which personifies your ideal for each century. The size and type of business doesn’t matter. Just try to see how close they come to your “ideal” person. Be sure to completely describe your “ideal” before picture and your selections comparing each to the other. Hint your hardest person to find will be the 21^stcentury leader look at current news stories from NBC, CNN etc. to get some names.
