PRICE NON-NEGOTIABLEWEEK ONE: 21st century Leaders
Learning Activity #1
Joe
Jackson owned a saw mill in Stuttgart, Arkansas.  It was a family
concern that had not changed in 50 years.  Having grown up in the
business Joe had never really investigated the strengths and weaknesses
of his position as Vice President.  His father was always the President
and he and his older brother Jacob were the heirs.  The business was in
turmoil because his father’s health was precarious forcing him to step
down.  Joe’s brother was expecting to step up to the role of Vice
President but Joe knew that was a mistake.  The business itself was
quickly eroding because of the sustainability issues facing the world.
 Joe could see this but not Jacob. Joe needed to have a long talk with
Jacob to make him see his reasoning.  Either they worked together for
the future or Joe would have to take the lead role.
Prepare
an outline of points for Joe to make in his discussion with his
brother. Explain the role of the 21st century leader and why it differs
from that of the 20th century leader.  Make sure to use the course reading material, citing and referencing to validate the points you make.
