Your final Portfolio Project is a thoughtful analysis of an ineffective or poor leadership decision. You may use a well-known leadership decision such as the 2011 decision to split Netflix, which resulted in serious financial losses for the organization. Your project must include the following:<\/p>\n

\n
• Research a leadership decision that was ineffective or did not lead to desired results.<\/li>\n
• Include the problem that may have precipitated the decision as well as the process the leaders involved in the decision-making process appeared to follow. Use terms from this course.<\/li>\n
• Critique the process they implemented, using what you learned from this course.<\/li>\n
• Recommend a different approach that could have been taken, using theories and methodologies from this course.<\/li>\n
• Present a strong case for how your recommendations could have altered the decision that was made and could have led to a more effective result for the organization.<\/li>\n
• Use theory from this course to support your evaluation, critique, and recommendations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          7) Hot under the collar<\/em><\/strong>.  In 2000, Gerald Levin, the chairman of Time Warner, was so confident in the deal he had made to merge with America Online, that he decided to forego placing a collar on the transaction. A collar enables the seller\u00e2\u20ac\u201din this case Time Warner\u00e2\u20ac\u201dto revisit the terms of the transaction if the buyer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s stock falls below a certain price. Almost as soon as the merger was announced, and before it was completed, the Internet bubble burst and AOL shares plunged 50%. Without a collar, Time Warner wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be able to renegotiate the deal. Time Warner execs urged Levin to re-think the deal, but he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t.  The rest is history, and Time Warner shareholders are still paying for his stubbornness.<\/p>\n

          Of course, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easy to see the folly of these decisions in retrospect; hindsight is 20\/20, and no one can make the right decision all the time.  But I suspect if each of these unfortunate executives had approached these decisions with a little more curiosity, a little more open-mindedness, and a little less certainty about the rightness of their position\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.we might all be using Western Union Kodak smartphones.<\/p>\n
