Still Leading (B1): Hon. Bob McDonald—Profiting from Purpose

by Rosabeth Moss Kanter and Ai-Ling Jamila Malone

Abstract

This case is included in the Still Leading series, which is part of an opening series of cases used in the Advanced Leadership Initiative at Harvard University. This case can also be taught as a standalone case as it is rich with many key leadership lessons that fall outside the series objective. McDonald’s career exemplifies a commitment to values. Throughout his career and life, he consistently maintained a set of values despite the changing context and periods of transition. His values seem to anchor him, especially during uncertain times. Teaching Note for HBS No. 318-050.

Chinese appliance company Haier's 2016 acquisition of iconic GE Appliances ushered in strategic and structural changes to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship at the U.S. company, and to help it grow. Haier, which had a model designed to bring the company closer to users of its products, wanted GEA to adopt a version of the model that suited the U.S. market, U.S. consumers, and GEA's employees. This case describes GEA's efforts to do that as a member of the Haier Group.
