Please respond to this discussion post:
"The servant leadership styles are one where the leader exhibits behaviors that indicated their purpose to serve, this style is adverse to the traditional leadership style because it puts the needs of the followers at the forefront of the leading priorities. This style of leadership promotes autonomy and the ability of the follower to dictate the role of the leader. Notably, certain companies who have chosen the servant leadership model as their preferred leadership model are Starbucks, Marriott and Nordstrom, each in different facets of the professional world that have made the concept profitable."

The answer to the first part of the question posed may be Tesla
Inc., the U.S. electric automobile manufacturer founded in 2003 and
headquartered in Palo Alto, California. The answer to the second
part of the question may be “by matching internal
strengths/weaknesses with external opportunity/ threats” using SWOT
analysis. For the first time ever, in 2017, Tesla joined the
Fortune 500 largest companies in the United States; the company’s
annual revenues exceed $7 billion. An integral part of Tesla’s
excellent strategic plan is to capitalize on the 6.5 percent annual
gross domestic product (GDP) growth in China, compared to the GDP
growth of about 2 percent in the United States. Tesla’s sales in
China skyrocketed in recent years as CEO Elon Musk of Tesla
capitalizes heavily on the firm’s technological prowess (internal
strength) matched with China’s booming GDP (external opportunity)
and China’s strong preference for electric vehicles (external
opportunity). In 2016, sales of electric and plug-in hybrid
automobiles in China rose 50 percent to 507,000, more than triple
the comparable figure in the United States. Electric vehicles are
viewed in China as a way to help clear smoggy skies (an external
opportunity), and that is a primary reason why China’s government
has ex-empted electric cars from rigid license plate restrictions
in six large cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou,
Guangzhou, and Tianjin; these six cities report the highest Tesla
sales. Tesla’s strategic plan includes manufacturing cars in China
by the end of 2018, because shipping cars from California to China
is costly. Tariffs and taxes incurred to export cars to China
increases the price of Tesla sedans and SUVs by 50 percent
(external threat). The number of electric vehi-cle charging
stations in China exceeds one thousand (external opportunity).
Tesla mass produces its Model X SUV because China’s obsession with
SUVs is a decade old and growing rapidly. Sales of SUVs in China
now comprise nearly 40 percent of all passenger-vehicle sales in
that country. Turning to Australia, Tesla recently supplied the
largest battery in the world to Jamestown, Aus-tralia. The battery
is storing electricity from a new wind farm that supplies thirty
thousand homes with power. The battery has a 100-megawatt capacity.
Tesla’s strategic plan is for the whole world to use its batteries
in cars, trucks, homes, and businesses.
Questions:
- Identify several internal strengths and weaknesses that face Tesla.
- Match several of your external and internal factors to formulate several strategies that Tesla is (or could) use going forward.
