What are 5 top leadership lessons startups can learn by watching this amazing video? https://lnkd.in/gNMp-iiS For those of you who are automobile enthusiasts, some more info on the Willy’s jeep. Jeep was developed for use during World War II. Due to the speciality of its design, the jeep became the primary light-wheeled transport vehicle of the public after the war. Around 135 establishments in the US participated in the design of a small four-wheel drive vehicle for reconnaissance purpose. However, Bantam and then Willys, finally got the design and manufacturing mandate. The jeeps proved their mettle at warfronts across the world. The vehicle with its tough build and less-complex mechanical components soon became the favourite of soldiers. It also won the nick-name go-anywhere vehicle due to its spring-leaf suspension in front and rear, shorter wheelbase, a simple and effective four-wheel drive and a strong engine. By the time the WWII ended, it was estimated that about 6,40,000 jeeps were built. Parent company Willys was bought by Kaiser Motors in 1953. After a decade, the company took the name of Kaiser Jeep. American Motor Company (AMC) bought Kaiser's factory and the jeep brand name in 1970. Since 1979, French car maker Renault had partnership with AMC. But by 1987, financial crisis hit this partnership too, and Chrysler Corporation, which had an eye on jeep for long, took over AMC. In 1998, Daimler-Benz AG of Germany and Chrysler Corporation merged to form Daimler Chrysler. Daimler then called it quits when Chrysler and Fiat came to the scene. In 2014, Chrysler folded into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the jeep brand name became its property. The company is looking at strengthening its presence in India with its jeep vehicles. Go on, pls comment on what you felt are leadership lessons you saw in the video.
