Example
Carly Fiorina( Chairman and CEO Hewlett Packard) Hewlett Packard Co. (HP) underwent dramatic changes under the leadership of Carly Fiorina (Fiorina), who took over as the company's CEO in 1999. Fiorina's ousting suggests that the playing field has not leveled equally for men and women, but charisma is an equal opportunity provider between the sexes.
At HP, she boldly declared her intend to merge HP with Compaq as she sees the merge will make the two companies be more efficient and cost effective.
Creating a map that represents the current situation of the group or organization She had a savvy approach to customers to understand what they want and how to fulfill their need and wants. Thats why she could always expand the business of her company. Making sense of the environment: She saw the market moving quickly and the pace of change accelerating. This sensemaking distinguishes her as a great leader who can discover the new terrain for HP as the environment changes.
Relating - centers on the leaders ability to engage in inquiry, advocacy, and connecting
Inquiry: Fiorina does not always listen and understand what others are thinking and feeling. She ignores others while implementing her decisions without explicit reasons. She also does not care about the critics against her leadership style management with flying around. She is right to act like that to maintain her position as a female leader, strengthen her executive power and make her management more efficient to manage HP as a world-wide company.
Advocacy:
She is always clear about her own point of view and trying to influence others of its merits. She is able to tell the truth about what needs to be done and clearly define what is and is not acceptable performance. This ability helps her communicate broad strategies, deep knowledge of operations, visions and instructions clearly to her management team and employees.
Connecting:
She is able to cultivate her followers who help each other to accomplish their goals. She also developed a personal touch that inspired intense loyalty among her followers and the ability to build collaborative relationships with others to create coalitions for change.
Visioning She changed the vision of HP from a stand-alone product/service provider to a company that provides an integrated suite of information appliances, highly reliable IT infrastructure and eservice, or to expand HP in a new direction at Internet speed and customer orientation. This shared vision enables them to act together, become bound together around a common identity and sense of destiny. This vision also provides them with a sense of meaning about their work and the difference they will make.
Inventing
Changing the way that people work together: She changed the way people work by restructuring HP into four organizations: two focusing on sales and the others focusing on products. Creating a whole new way of approaching a task: She recognized the need for a new leadership style and faster actions for the new vision. So she decided to change HP from a fully integrated, productfocused business to a more disintegrated approach focusing on product generation, customer-facing and support activities. She also changed her leadership style by using internal Web and message boards to communicate with workers instead of visiting and talking to them in person as the old leadership style.
Creating new approach, new solutions, new practices: To achieve the goal, she changed the culture and work habit to make employees be more efficient. She encouraged research to explore new technologies and develop new products. She also created the rules of garage to motivate new and innovative ideas. Her strong capability of sense-making, visioning, relating and inventing makes Fiorina become a powerful and talented female leader in the American corporate world
