Anne M. Mulcahy rose to the helm of affairs at Xerox during a critical time when Xerox was on the verge of bankruptcy. Her grit and determination steered the sinking ships to reach new highs. Her no nonsense approach won her accolades and a dedicated workforce that was ready to give it all during the time of crisis. She never intended to be the CEO of Xerox and startled as everybody else because she felt she was never groomed to be the CEO.She spent most years at Xerox in sales and felt she didn't have a financial background, and right after she was appointed the stocks dropped 15 percent. She was the classic example of an accidental CEO and she proved that it was the best thing to happen to Xerox at that time.
Early life:
Born in 1952, Anne is the only girl child in the family and she was raised in the same way her four brothers were. This helped her turn into a strong, determined person who could take things in her stride. Her sound upbringing helped her to cross each hurdle life threw at her with ease and tactfulness. She completed her primary education in a catholic school and went on to do her degree in English and Journalism at Marymount College in 1974. She joined Xerox in 1976 as a field sales representative.
Career:
She went on to become the first woman CEO of Xerox in 2001 and its first female chairman in 2002. When Anne was made the CEO the company was more than $17 billionin debt and had recorded losses for the preceding six years. She had a mammoth task ahead of her which made her take some bold decisions, one being slashing down 25,000 jobs and selling $2.3 billion worth noncore assets to reduce Xerox's debt but she did not cut back a single dollar from research and development. To top it all Xerox found itself in the middle of an investigation by Securities and Exchange Commission for an accounting scandal in Mexico unit.
Anne then followed the advice of billionaire investor Warren Buffet to pay attention to the customers. When the media had almost written it off as a dead company, Mulcahy brought back in track within a short span. She was fiercely loyal to Xerox and travelled first 90 days of becoming a CEO to various offices to understand what was wrong with Xerox. She gave a lot of time in listening to customers and employees and that paid off. She brought back confidence in her employees and instilled a level of optimism in them to bring life to her vision. By 2004, Xerox returned to profitability and it experienced growth which it did not witnessed in its heydays.
Whenever an earthquake or tsunami takes thousands of innocent lives, a shocked world talks of little else. - Anne M. Mulcahy

Aubrey McClendon is a man surrounded by controversy, even in his sudden mysterious death. Aubrey is a natural oil and gas industry tycoon who cofounded Chesapeake Energy Corporation. He died in a car crush that has raised a lot of eyebrows. There is speculation that Aubrey might have taken his own life. He was in his car alone and allegedly hit straight into a brick wall. Aubrey had a chance to get back on the highway, but chose not to. McClendon died on Wednesday in Oklahoma after being indicted by a grand jury on Tuesday. He was indicted for rigging bids to buy leases of oil and natural gas.
According to the Department of Justice, Aubrey began a scheme with two energy corporations between 2007 and 2012. The agreement was for the companies to avoid bidding against each other. They were to decide a winner prior the biddings in Oklahoma and allocate each other leases accordingly. Aubrey however denied the allegations as a mere scheme to tarnish his reputation. He said that he had committed his life to the oil and gas sector, to provide employment opportunities and plenty of safe gas to the country. McClendon risked 10 years in jail if evidence pointed towards him for violating the Sherman Act.
McClendon cofounded Chesapeake Energy at 29 years old in 1989. The company drilled its first two wells in May of that year in Garvin county Oklahoma. He adopted the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques, which skyrocketed Chesapeake to tremendous growth. He was later branded a visionary leader because of these new and unconventional well drilling techniques. Forbes recognized McClendon as America’ productive C.E.O because of his tremendous works at Chesapeake.
McClendon is an advocate of natural gas because of its environment friendly abilities as opposed to alternative oil and coal fuels. In support of the natural oil industry, Aubrey cofounded a lobbying group for natural gas. He further financed a campaign to engage natural gas activists on a Texas utility plan to build 11 coal plants
McClendon left Chesapeake in 2013 following a controversy in his tenure. During this time, oil prices greatly reduced causing the company millions. Investors were concerned about the pricing, which cost Aubrey his annual bonus. He left the company that same year.
Despite his exit, his legacy still stood as a top shale gas producer in the industry. He initiated Chesapeake’s footing in Appalachia, which emerged as a renowned gas production center in the country. Aubrey’s leadership and passion for the oil and gas industry effected community in a great way. However, controversy still clung to him even after he left Chesapeake. Aubrey was accused of collaborating with a competitor to maintain low prices of the drilling rights.
Stepping down from Chesapeake did not shutter McClendon’s dreams. He founded his company where he was the C.E.O. His net worth after leaving Chesapeake was $35.6 billion. McClendon was known for working hard, and playing harder. He enjoyed the best things that money can buy. Aubrey spent lavishly by buying big homes, antique boats ad a wine cellar.
Besides the oil industry, Aubrey has invested in multiple businesses like restaurants, and real estate agencies in Oklahoma. He is also a philanthropist to private and public service.
