275 Words2 Pages
The leader I chose was Sam Walton, founder of Walmart. Sam was born in 1918 in Oklahoma and acquired his first Ben Frankin franchise in Arkansas with a $25,000 loan from his father in-law. Within 2 decades, he had 15 stores with his younger brother and by 1962, Sam opened his first Walmart(biography.com). The reason that I chose him was his leadership style for which he followed his own 10 commandments. These were 1. Commit to goals 2. Share rewards 3. Energize your colleagues 4. Communicate all you know 5. Value your associates 6. Celebrate success 7. Listen to everyone 8. Deliver more than you promise 9. Work smarter than others 10. Blaze your own path (leader-values.com). Sam Walton was able to achieve his success through these commandments.
