There is no shortage of schools for businesspeople of every specialty: accountants, engineers, financiers, technologists, information specialists, marketers, and, of course, general managers, who have their choice of hundreds, if not thousands, of M.B.A. programs. But where is the school for the person in charge of getting the best results from all these members of the organization? There is no school for CEOs—except the school of experience. Chief executives must learn on the job how to lead a company, and they must learn while every stakeholder is watching.
The CEO’s job is like no other in the organization. It is infinite. Senior executives are, by definition, ultimately responsible for every decision and action of every member of the company, including those decisions and actions of which they are not aware. CEOs—even new ones—are allowed few mistakes. Not surprisingly, research shows that between 35% and 50% of all CEOs are replaced within five years. That is a costly proposition for any organization, for no company can lose its leader without losing some sense, even temporarily, of its identity and direction.
Two years ago, our interest in the role of the CEO prompted us to begin an extensive study of how senior executives lead. Over 12 months, we interviewed 160 chief executives around the world, most of whom were running major corporations in industries as diverse as gold mining, computers, and soft drinks. Our goal was to examine the set of attitudes, activities, and behaviors that determined how those executives managed their organizations. To be honest, going into the project we hypothesized that there might turn out to be 160 different approaches to leadership. There were not. Only 5 distinct approaches emerged from our data.
No matter where a company is located or what it makes, its CEO must develop a guiding, over-arching philosophy about how he or she can best add value. This philosophy determines the CEO’s approach to leadership. By approach, we mean which areas of corporate policy—for example, strategic planning, R&D, or recruiting—receive the most attention, what kind of people and behaviors the CEO values in the organization, which decisions the CEO makes personally or delegates, and how he or she spends each day. A leadership approach is a coherent, explicit style of management, not a reflection of personal style. This is a critical distinction. (See the sidebar “What’s Personality Got to Do with It?”) We found that in effective companies, CEOs do not simply adopt the leadership approach that suits their personalities but instead adopt the approach that will best meet the needs of the organization and the business situation at hand. Is the industry growing explosively or is it mature? How many competitors exist and how strong are they? Does technology matter and, if so, where is it going? What are the organization’s capital and human assets? What constitutes sustainable competitive advantage, and how close is the organization to achieving it? The answers to questions such as these determine which of the following five leadership approaches an effective CEO will adopt.
1. The Strategy Approach.
CEOs who use this approach believe that their most important job is to create, test, and design the implementation of long-term strategy, extending in some cases into the distant future. Their position overseeing all areas of the corporation, they explain, gives them the unique ability to determine their organizations’ allocation of resources and optimal direction. On a day-to-day basis, they spend their time in activities intended to ascertain their organizations’ point of departure (the current business situation) and point of arrival (the most advantageous market position in the future). These CEOs devote approximately 80% of their time to matters external to the organization’s operations—customers, competitors, technological advances, and market trends—as opposed to internal matters such as hiring or control systems. It follows, then, that they tend to value employees to whom they can delegate the day-to-day operation of their organizations as well as those who possess finely tuned analytical and planning skills.
2. The Human-Assets Approach.
In marked contrast to CEOs in the above group, human-assets CEOs strongly believe that strategy formulation belongs close to the markets, in the business units. According to these CEOs, their primary job is to impart to their organizations certain values, behaviors, and attitudes by closely managing the growth and development of individuals. These executives travel constantly, spending the majority of their time in personnel-related activities such as recruiting, performance reviews, and career mapping. Their goal is to create a universe of satellite CEOs: people at every level of the organization who act and make decisions as the CEO would.

Read each question and choose the best answer. "How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts? I rest my case."—Robert G. Allen, financial writer This quotation reflects what principle of investing? A. Higher risk usually offers higher potential return. B. Higher risk usually offers lower potential return. C. Greater liquidity usually offers higher potential return. D. Greater liquidity usually offers lower potential return.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
This quote reflects the principle of investing that Higher risk usually offers a higher potential return. Savings accounts are probably the safest investments that an individual can make, where they hold their money in this account and the bank ensures this account while also providing interest on the amount held. This interest that is gained is extremely small and usually wouldn't even cover the average annual inflation rate. The average interest on these accounts is between 0.01% to 0.35% APY. Riskier investments have a much higher potential return from 7% APY to potentially above 100% APY.
Which careers require a person to find independence in working alone?
Answer:
Visual Arts??
Explanation:
When they work on every visual art project, the artists want to be isolated and away from anyone. Few examples of visual artwork are architecture, craft, painting, and photography, and a lot more can be applied to this category. In any situation, though the artist likes solitude and being alone since it means that they are closer to nature, and can therefore rely more on their work that can be ruined by even the slightest flaw.
Mary is interested in investing in the stock market, but having studied the Great Depression in school, she is afraid she could lose all of her money. She reads through the finance pages of the newspaper and sees that unemployment has dropped to the lowest level it has been in the past ten years, new businesses are opening, housing sales are up because interest rates are level, and the national debt is decreasing. If the economy is her only concern about buying stock, should she buy stock?
A) The level of unemployment, the rise in new business starts, the increase in housing sales, and the decrease in national debt indicate that the economy is growing so it would be a good time to buy stock.B) In spite of all of the positive indicators, it is never a good time to buy stock.C) The stock market works independent of unemployment, business starts, housing sales, and the level of the national debt so these things will not influence the rise or fall of the market.D) Mary should not base her decision to buy stock on the factors indicated, she should base it solely on the consumer price index.
Answer:
A) The level of unemployment, the rise in new business starts, the increase in housing sales, and the decrease in national debt indicate that the economy is growing so it would be a good time to buy stock.
Explanation:
Mary should definitely buy stock. All the economic indicators that are doing well according to the financial paper are what is known as leading indicators: indicators whose tendency more or less predicts the tendency of the general economy in the short-term.
In other words, all the signs are indicating that the economy will continue to be strong for a good amount of time, time that Mary can use not only to buy stock, but also to reap the benefits from the stock.

The owner of a small convenience store observed that almost all customers paid with credit cards regardless of whether they had cash available, resulting in significant processing charges for the store. The owner began to add a fifty-cent charge to credit card purchases under two dollars, and during the following month, virtually all customers used cash for small purchases while continuing to use credit cards for larger purchases. Nonetheless, during the month after the charge was instated, the average dollar amount of each cash transaction was almost identical to the average dollar amount of each credit card transaction.
The information in the passage most strongly supports which of the following?
A. The average dollar amount spent by customers who did not have cash available was higher after the charge was instated than it had been beforehand.
B. After the charge was instated, customers who used cash for purchases totaling two dollars or more spent more, on average, than customers who used credit cards for these purchases.
C. The average dollar amount spent in each cash transaction at the convenience store was lower after the charge was instated than beforehand.
D. A significant majority of purchases made at the convenience store during the month after the charge was instated were made using credit cards.
E. Prior to the charge, the average amount spent on credit card transactions was higher than the average amount spent on cash transactions.
Answer:
B. After the charge was instated, customers who used cash for purchases totaling two dollars or more spent more, on average, than customers who used credit cards for these purchases.
Explanation:
Since the average transaction remained almost unchanged, that means that customers who used to spend $2 or less are now spending more on average. Assuming that customers that purchase higher amounts didn't change their habits, the only way that the cash purchases equal credit card purchases is that people paying in cash buy more things.
E.g. there are 20 transactions worth more than $2 which are paid using a credit card, so the average transaction is more than $2. In order for cash purchase to have a similar mean, the some transactions will be less than $2 but other transactions must be higher in order to increase the mean of cash purchases: 15 cash transactions worth $1 and 5 cash transactions worth $6, mean cash transaction = $2.25.

While planning a new product launch, Cassandra knew that the art department was ready to work on the promotional pieces right away. But they are not able to start until the strategy group established the price point and the purchasing group obtained the paper needed to make the promotional piece. Establishing price points would take about a week and was dependent on manufacturing getting the costs to the strategy group. This was expected a week from today. The purchasing group indicated the paper could be obtained locally the same day it was requested. Based on this information and assuming things go according to plan, when will the art department be able to begin work on the promotional pieces?
A. 1 weekB. 1 monthC. 1 dayD. 2 weeks
Answer:
A. 1 week
Explanation:
This is true due to the fact that, Cassandra knew it would take about 1 week to establish the price point in the new product which she is planning to launch.
For the extra week it would have taken to get the paper could not hold again due to the fact that, it was already established that, it would take same day to get same paper rather than waiting for the paper to get to the strategy group in one week.

object. if the radius of curvature of the mirror is 40cm, what is the
distance between the two images?
Ans: 60cm
om
chat and in ito
Answer: 60 cm
Explanation:
Given that:
Radius of curvature (R) = 40 cm
Radius of curvature is 2 tines the Focal length:
Focal length (f) = 40/2 = 20
Object distance = u
Image distance = v
Image (v) = 2u
1/v + 1/u = 1 /f
1/2u + 1/u = 1/20
(1 + 2) /2u = 1/20
3 / 2u = 1/20
2u = 60
u = 60/2
u = 30 cm
v = 2u
v = 2(30)
v = 60 cm
