Thinking Habits

Paper Summary:

In this article the respective thinking patterns of James Broadhead, Michael Dell, Steve Case, Elizabeth Dole and John Chambers are examined in detail, relevant to some of the literature produced about them. The writer points out that these individuals have manifested a persistent ability to formulate decisions and strategies consistent with each individual's thinking pattern that has brought them both success and respect.

From the Paper:

"James Broadhead perhaps best personifies the thinking habit of courageous action because of his willingness to adopt, encourage, and demand change in an industry that traditionally was not prone to accepting or embracing change. Broadhead entered the FPL Group as an outsider to an industry long used to entrenched industry professionals: "Although I came from outside the industry, my prior experience in the natural resources and telecommunications businesses served as a good background for the challenges faced by the electric power industry". Broadhead was forced to demand change from within the FPL Group in a manner that had effected not only upper management but employees and shareholders alike. "
