I, along with the team of 5 people, prepared this presentation as a part of Project Leadership and Communication class in the first semester at the University of Connecticut's School of Business' Master of Science in Business Analytics and Project Management course. It was a great experience where we culminated the ideas from the entire team, comprising of different ethnicities and religions. We got to learn a lot of Project Leadership concepts when we studied the work done by Alan. The most impressive thing I found about him was his humor. He was so poised in the tumultuous situation, which even I want to learn more from him, and others. In conclusion, I would like to recommend this class by Prof. Wilson to every student of the MSBAPM course here at UCONN.

Conclusions Ford (& Automotive Industry) = Economic Crisis Strong Leadership Strategic Business Decisions Cultural Change Economic Recovery “Because there are leaders and there are those who lead. Leaders hold a position of power or authority, but those who lead inspire us. Whether they're individuals or organizations, we follow those who lead, not because we have to, but because we want to. We follow those who lead, not for them, but for ourselves. And it's those who start with "why" that have the ability to inspire those around them or find others who inspire them” -Simon Sinek 22
