This report provides an in-depth analysis of leadership and ethics at Royal Dutch Shell (Shell). It begins by identifying the founders and CEO, Charles O. Holliday, and assessing his management competencies, including understanding of international commercial, strategic, and environmental concerns. The report then examines the CEO's use of transformational leadership style, supported by Blake and Mouton's managerial grid, and critically discusses its strengths (inclusion of employees in decision making) and weaknesses (time for decision making). An alternative leadership style, laissez-faire, is proposed to enhance creativity. The report also reviews Shell's CSR and sustainability policies, focusing on its Net Carbon Footprint and commitment to responsible energy delivery. It evaluates the company's ethical standing, highlighting its commitment to stakeholder trust through transparent reporting since 1997, and offers recommendations to improve its reputation, such as developing more sustainable sourcing practices and building employee trust.
