During our group discussion, it was agreed that all the CEO’s in the video valued their employees and treat them as a team. They all found a way to take advantage of their employees in a way that would result in positive effects for their companies. The strategy each CEO chose to take resulted in a respect among the higher level employees and the lower level of employees. The two corporate strategies the four CEO's talked about were Top Down and Flat. The CEO's talked about how each strategy had its own uses and how each may provide different results. While watching the videos, it was noticed by our group, that the four CEOs discussed the top-down corporate strategy more than any other. Our group also agreed that the Top Down strategy was the preferred approach among the employees. One of the CEO’s talked about how it allowed for a quicker way to find the talent amongst the employees and how people feel they can reach out with problems or information to their managers. This created a way for the department or company to find a better way to get things done. Other CEO's talked about how the Top Down approach was a way for managers and subordinates to work on a team level and all would hear the ideas expressed. This would help decisions be made that would cause better results for the company. In this type of work environment, employees are given a certain amount of authority and they can be flexible, instead of having to run to the manager every time a small decision needs to be made. It was also said that even though workers are given some authority the major decisions would always be made by the manager. It was revealed, by our group that this strategy allowed for an easier way of expressing ideas and problems and also finding the best plan for the company. Of course managers are very important to a company and are always the ones to make the most
