R. Tillerson, Ceo
As one might know might know Exxon Mobil landed itself at the number one spot of the fortune 500 list in 2012 (Fortune 500, 2012). Over the last one hundred twenty-five years Exxon has grown from you average producer of kerosene to, debatably, the top producer of petroleum products in the world. A lot can be said for such a great accomplishment in today’s society. One of the greatest attributes to an organization of this magnitude has is a strong, determined, and goal oriented Chief Executive officer; better known as CEO. Rex W. Tillerson currently holds this position with Exxon, and has done so since 2006 (Rex W. Tillerson). When diving deeper into the life of, CEO, Rex Tillerson one must most importantly; look at the great climb up the corporate ladder that Tillerson has flawlessly accomplished; in addition to the climb up the ladder one must research each position held by Tillerson in order to get a full understanding of his experience. A little background, Tillerson is a Texas native, born March 23, 1952 in the great city of Wichita Falls. Tillerson earned himself a Bachelor of Science degree in the engineering field, more specifically civil engineering, from the University of Texas at Austin. After the completion of his degree, Tillerson went to work for Exxon in 1975 as a mere production engineer (Rex W. Tillerson). As a production engineer, Tillerson was responsible for managing the production of oil and gas to help maximize revenue and cutting operating expenses (Production Engineering). This Position would, unknowingly, begin the torturous climb up the ranks within Exxon. In 1989, a mere fourteen years later, Tillerson would advance up in the company; taking the role as the general manager of the production division of Exxon company, U.S.A (EUSA) which would make him responsible for oil and gas production for much of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kansas (Rex W. Tillerson). This gave Tillerson his first link to the Chief executive officer

    CEO Simon Brocklebank Fowler

    1. Simon Brocklebank Fowler is a great CEO and an even better leader. He can sell anything. Simon obviously has perfected many organizational behavior concepts as he has grown throughout his lifetime even though he did not elaborate on which ones specifically. Simon went to Cambridge, which is a top level secondary school in the UK. Simon ended up switching from a history major to finance and ended up working for a bank. Simon also ended up running for Parliament but was unsuccessful, although he did learn a lot through that experience. Along with working for a bank, Simon also has worked for a consultant agency and as a price performance salesman. He worked for a failing franchise and had to sell things straight on his credibility alone. Simon stated that he had to do a lot of research to help sell his pitch to his consumers. He ended up being promoted in 3 months because he worked so hard on his pitches and was blowing all of the veterans out of the water. He then ended up going to Citigate, which is a smaller firm, but he actually had people working for him which gave him leverage. Citigate went from 200 to 2,000 people in 4 years in different countries making this company a global company. By making Citigate a global company, their profits grew significantly in size and increased the brand recognition of Citigate. Simon is a great leader in many ways. When he walks into a room, you can feel his presence. Simon does not only look in the presence, but in the future as well.

How about in 10 years?” Simon knows that the world is always adapting and is telling us we have to adapt with it if we want to be successful. Simon is also always trying to get better. He told us, “Is what your doing right now making your boat go faster?” This means that whatever your focus is on today, is it going to help…

    Describe an event that an organization has successfully turned around due to good management. List the key attributes of effective Leadership and Strategic Thinking.

    In 2005, a private equity firm purchased Resources Inc, an exploration and production company. Since the purchase of the business, the PE board has dispensed two management teams for lack of performance and competency. The company promoted an internal engineer as CEO. This was an atypical selection as this individual was two layers below in the succession hierarchy and lacked leadership skills. Given this and the organization's turbulent past, we focused on answering the question - why is this individual who lacks the organizational leadership experience succeeding where the others failed?In order to obtain a better understanding of this anomaly, we gathered information through examining the board minutes and the annual review of the CEO. We also conducted interviews with the Chairman of the Board, the CEO, and employees. Through the board minutes, we gained insights in the decision making process, the roles of employees, and governance of the board. The interviews gave actual illustrations of the CEO's decision making process.…
