Automobiles are a vital part of our daily lives, and most families now own at least one. In the United States alone, passenger cars account for one-fourth of all vehicle sales. These vehicles are used for about three trillion miles each year. There are about 1.4 billion passenger cars in the world, with more than half of these manufactured by foreign manufacturers. The industry continues to grow, and manufacturers are now introducing new designs more frequently.
Daimler
Daimler Automobiles is one of the world’s largest automakers. The German company is well-known for its luxury vehicles. However, the company is criticized for having a top-down approach to management, with little sense of shared responsibility among employees. In 2003, the company posted a loss of 47 million DKK. In an effort to turn things around, the new CEO, Per V. Rasmussen, decided to change the way management operated and encourage middle management to take greater responsibility for the company. To do so, he turned to Qeep, a coaching firm that helped management set breakthrough goals and implement personal action plans.
