SIR RICHARD BRANSON Founder of the Virgin Group

A global entrepreneur by every definition of the term, Sir Richard Branson, who has grown Virgin Group to include over 360 companies, is credited as the world’s greatest brand-building visionary in recent history. From Virgin Records, which he sold for an astonishing $1 billion, to Virgin Mobile USA, the fastest growing company in history to reach $1 billion in revenue, the business tycoon has extensively developed his brand in all areas of entertainment, lifestyle, and travel.

Sir Richard Branson has also made it part of his personal mission to support global causes. Along with the help of Nelson Mandela, he started The Elders, a group of eminent global leaders that come together to “promote peace building, help address major issues of human suffering and promote the shared interests of humanity.” He is also the founder of the Carbon War Room, which works to increase the effectiveness of climate change efforts that are already underway.

A man who stops at no limits – and someone who was once told by a British school headmaster that he would either “go to prison or become a millionaire” – Richard Branson has created one of the most recognized and trusted brands across the globe. With his signature wit and down-to-earth attitude, he candidly shares the real-life experiences and inspiring vision that have brought him such unyielding success.

DONALD TRUMP Famous American entrepreneur

A schoolboy’s dream…a competitor’s challenge. Donald Trump is the very definition of the American success story, continually setting the standards of excellence while expanding his interests in real estate, gaming, sports, and entertainment. He is the archetypal businessman, a deal maker without peer and an ardent philanthropist.

Donald Trump started his business career in an office he shared with his father in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York. In New York City, the Trump signature is synonymous with the most prestigious of addresses. Among them are the world-renowned Fifth Avenue skyscraper, Trump Tower, and the luxury residential buildings, Trump Parc, Trump Palace, Trump Plaza, 610 Park Avenue, The Trump World Tower (the tallest building on the East Side of Manhattan), and Trump Park Avenue.

In the gaming arena, The Trump Organization is one of the world's largest operators of hotels and casinos. The Trump name stands on three world-class casino hotels in Atlantic City, New Jersey. And, in a departure from his real estate acquisitions, Mr. Trump and the NBC Television Network are partners in the ownership and broadcast rights for the three largest beauty competitions in the world: the Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA Pageants.

Trump is one of the most famous entrepreneurs in the world today.

SIR ALEX FERGUSON

Record-Breaking Coach Lauded as the Most Successful Manager in the History of Professional Sport

JACK WELCH

CEO of General Electric (1981-2001)

Sir Alex Ferguson is regarded as one of the most admired and respected managers in the history of football, the world’s most popular sport. Ferguson’s early success as a manager in Scotland attracted an underachieving Manchester United in 1986.

Jack Welch was born in Salem, Massachusetts. He received his B.S. degree from the University of Massachusetts and his M.S. and Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Illinois. Jack Welch has enormous stage presence and is one of the world leading keynote speakers at corporate events.

Twenty-six years later, Sir Alex had won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League and two UEFA Champions League titles, making United the most successful club in English football.

Jack began his career with the General Electric Company in 1960 and in 1981 became the company’s eighth Chairman & CEO. In his 20 years as CEO of General Electric, he transformed the company from a bureaucratic behemoth to a dynamic and revered powerhouse. During his tenure, GE market value grew from $13 billion to $400 billion. In the process, Welch’s management innovations have made him the most influential CEO of his era.

During his tenure at United as well as earlier years as a manager and player, Sir Alex developed a unique, deliberate and much-analyzed leadership philosophy, which was recently studied by Harvard Business School in a leadership case study focused on his management approach.

The consistent success Sir Alex produced, over a period spanning three decades, was the driving force that resulted in Manchester United becoming the most valuable sports franchise in the world. The growing commercialization of football during this same period attracted wealthy investors from all over the world allowing competitive teams to outspend United by staggering proportions.

However Sir Alex’s formula for talent development, organizational management, motivation and communication, and his goal of “building a club rather than a team” enabled Manchester United to achieve record-breaking results.

In 2000 he was named Manager of the Century by Fortune magazine. In 2005, he was voted Most Admired CEO of the past 20 years by Chief Executive magazine readers and the World’s Greatest Leader today in a Fast Company magazine survey.

Jack's genius is his natural capacity to communicate with people and is acclaimed for his insights on how businesses and people can achieve excellence. His tremendous leadership and inspirational skills made him into one of the most successful business leaders of all time.
