Final Project Project Background Throughout the course you will do substantial research through tasks, discussions, and hands on lessons which directly relate to a component of the final project. The goal of this class is to explore the many facets of entrepreneurial leadership. You will meet leaders that have succeeded (and sometimes failed), yet inspire us all. You will explore companies that have found a balance between doing social good and making a profit. You will explore social causes, companies, leaders, and people that have changed the world. How will you lead? Who will you inspire? The first 1/3 of the class is about brainstorming new ideas related to entrepreneurial leaders and the companies they run. The second third of the class will be to solidify your own ideas about entrepreneurial leadership. You will explore existing companies you would like to lead. You may even choose to focus on your own company. The final third of the course is all about pulling together your final project and making strategic leadership decisions. Take time to ask questions and get advice from your classmates and instructor. Rethink how leaders will look in the future. Unleash your creativity and dream big about leading a socially minded company. The final project will consist of 2 parts: The Final Presentation and the Final Paper.

A good example of climate change is the extinction of the ice age. For many years, climate change has been a common phenomenon on earth; this is triggered by natural and artificial factors. Climate change impacts every person on the planet; this is because when the temperatures elevate, every individual feels it. The other impacts of climate change include floods, droughts, and others. Consequently, climate change is detrimental to our health. However, the most affected people live in the following regions: Haiti, Lagos, Manila, Kiribati, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. The primary strategy that has been established to tackle the problem of climate change is by reducing the emission of greenhouse gases (Edenhofer, 2015). This is among the major strategies that have been adopted globally. Besides, people are shifting to greener and renewable energy. Additionally, different governmental and non-governmental bodies are at the forefront of increasing forest coverage by planting trees. Since the last century, there are different laws and acts which have been enacted in order to reduce the rate of climate change. The first possible solution is the eradication of fossil fuels. The use of fossil fuels is the leading contributor to climate change. Therefore, replacing them with renewable energy like solar and wind energy is a possible solution. More so, the current infrastructure must be 2 CLIMATE CHANGE redesigned to make them energy saving. Planting of trees and preventing deforestation is another potential solution to this problem. To sum it all, climate change is a problem that cannot be reversed, but it can be stopped. Every person on the planet experiences its impacts (Edenhofer, 2015). Among the probable solution include the adoption of greener energy, planting trees, and construction of green infrastructures. Reference Edenhofer, O. (Ed.). (2015).

Running head: UBER 1 Uber Uber Technologies Inc. is an international transport network company based in San Francisco, American. The company was established in 2009 by Travis Kalanick and Garret Camp. It offers a number of services which include bicycle sharing, peer to peer ride sharing, food delivery and ride service hailing (Lashinsky, 2017). Uber is a phrase from German which means above or over. The founders, Camp and Kalanick came up with the idea after they failed to find a cab in Paris one snowy evening in December 2008. They therefore thought of starting a new company that could minimize the cost of direct transportation (Stone, 2017). In March 2009, Uber was born with prototypes build by Camp together with his two friends Oscar Salazar and Conrad Whelan. Kalanick joined them as a mega advisor for the company (Lashinsky, 2017). The renowned online app which most clients use to request for Uber services was officially launched in 2011 in San Francisco. Uber was initially named as Ubercab and it allowed users to order luxury car services whose price was 1.5 times more than a normal taxi. The first employee hired by Uber was Ryan Graves who also became the first CEO. From the first Uber ride in 2009, the company has successfully recorded more than 3 billion rides worldwide. Through its mission Uber plans to ignite change in the world by putting the world in motion. Its main mission is to have a world with few vehicles that provide efficient transport system. Uber changed their CEO in 2017 a move that made them be efficient in business again. The sales of Uber had diminished and only loses were being recorded. The organization structure of Uber includes a leader in the CEO. Below the CEO, we have the Chief financial officer, UBER 2 technology officer, legal officer, HR officer, product and chief of security. The structure also includes SVP of engineering, business, policy & communication and leadership & strategy. The CEO third layer entails head of everything, general counsel and president of ridesharing. ~ Chief Financial Officer ~ Chief Technology Officer ~ Chief Legal Officer ~ Chief HR Officer ~ Chief Product ~ Chief of Security ~ SVP of Engineering ~ SVP Business ~ SVP Policy & Communication ~ SVP Leadership & Strategy ~ Head of Everything ~ General Counsell ~ President Ridesharing The values of Uber include growing together while being focused on the customer satisfaction. The other aspect that makes Uber standout is its ability of valuing the hierarchy of ideas. Uber insists on doing the best actions each time and providing the best services to its clients. The leadership management provided by Uber makes it at a good position to be the company of choice when one is travelling. The way the employees have been harnessed makes it more viable to improve its efficiency and remain competitive in the market. UBER 3 References Lashinsky, A. (2017).
