Changing fortunes of times - Who is now the biggest automaker?

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Before they used to be Toyota, VW, BMW.  They are no longer the automaker giants.  It is now TESLA whose market cap topped trillion









The reasons for this bull run were:
1.  Record profits;
2.  Tesla topped ICE sales in Europe
3.  Hertz coming out of bankruptcy buying 100,000 TESLA units

This development reflect the growing awareness of decarbonizing the  planet earth (to stop global warming and flooding of coastal areas) and severe climate change.

But Toyota is resisting this wave of change.  It favors fuel cells, and does not favor total disregard of ICE (Internal Combustion Engine)

The fortunes of TESLA reflect the gtowing consciousness that we should stop the carbon emitters like ICE, coal power plants.  (We havent figured out how to dispose the dead batteries and sourcing of rare earth metals for the batteries.  The mining of these minerals will mean more destruction of forests and even water resources)

How leaders lose wars by winning battles
It's possible for bosses to be correct on the facts but wrong from a management perspective, says Delphix CEO Jed Yueh. Browbeating workers into agreeing with your position can demoralize them over the long haul. "You have to understand how to win wars, not individual battles. If you don't manage yourself very well, it's hard for you to maximize the performance of a team," Yueh says. The New York Times (tiered subscription model) (6/28)

Tim Cook is betting his pay on Apple's success
Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced he'll voluntarily give up as much as 33% of his stock-based compensation -- worth about $130 million by Tuesday's stock price -- if Apple stock ranks in the bottom third of the Standard & Poor's 500 over the next eight years. That's an admirable gesture of self-accountability with no hidden upside for Cook, writes Steve Tobak. "Tim Cook is putting his money where his mouth is, $130 million of it. He's sending a message to boards, executives, and business leaders across America," Tobak writes. Fox Business (6/25)

How innovation helped a National Semiconductor plant survive
National Semiconductor put its plant in Greenock, Scotland, up for sale in 1998 in a bid to reduce costs, but the threat of closure led the plant's management team to pull off a surprising turnaround. New efficiencies were found to cut production costs by 50%; site managers drove innovation by partnering with universities and research programs; and local executives aligned their efforts with the global parent.
