[Audio] In 1886, three brothers – Robert Wood Johnson, James Wood Johnson and Edward Mead Johnson – founded Johnson & Johnson, in New Brunswick, New Jersey in the United States. It's said that the Johnson brothers were inspired to start the business in order to create a line of ready-to-use surgical dressings, after hearing a speech by antiseptic advocate Joseph Lister in 1885. Robert Wood Johnson served as the first president – the company became incorporated in 1887 and throughout the nineteenth century, Robert worked to improve sanitation practices. It was in 1961 that Belgium's Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V. joined the J&J Family of Companies. Its founder, Dr Paul Janssen, is recognized as one of the most innovative and prolific pharmaceutical researchers of the 20th century. Today, Janssen is one of the world's leading research-based pharma companies and markets prescription medicines in the areas of gastroenterology, women's health, mental health, neurology and HIV/AIDS, to name a few. https://pharmaphorum.com/views-analysis-sales-marketing/a-history-of-johnson-johnson/.

[Audio] Before COVID- 19, the most severe pandemic in recent history was the 1918 influenza virus, often called "the Spanish Flu." The virus infected roughly 500 million people—one-third of the world's population—and caused 50 million deaths worldwide (double the number of deaths in World War I). The epidemic mask was made of several layers of sterile gauze (another Johnson & Johnson invention) to block germs and prevent the transmission of the influenza virus. The masks were later used in other outbreaks of pneumonia, scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough, diphtheria, meningitis and tuberculosis. https://www.jnj.com/our-heritage/how-johnson-johnson-has-helped-improve-public-health-during-outbreaks.

[Audio] The current leadership style at Johnson and Johnson is democratic. Employees are encouraged to share their ideas, and input is valued. The company also has a flat organizational structure, meaning there is less hierarchy and more collaboration opportunities ( Johnson & Johnson, 2022). Leadership styles can vary greatly and be effective in different ways depending on the company, the industry, and other factors. However, Johnson and Johnson's current leadership style appears effective. The company has recently been successful, posting strong financial results and winning multiple awards (Johnson & Johnson, 2022). Additionally, Johnson and Johnson's employees have consistently ranked it as a great workplace, indicating that employees are happy with the company's leadership ( Wen et al., 2019). There is no guarantee that an alternative style would be more impactful. Gopalratnam, M. (2022). The Decline of Conglomerates: Case Studies on GE, Johnson and Johnson and Toshiba.

[Audio] Leadership Model Changes Johnson and Johnson should encourage a more collaborative and open leadership style. This could help to improve communication and allow for better decision-making. The company should encourage leaders to focus on developing their team members. This could help to create a more engaged and motivated workforce. Wen, T. B., Ho, T. C., Kelana, B. W.
