ecoming a successful business leader is a complex and multifaceted process that requires a combination of personal traits, skills, knowledge, and experience. At its core, leadership is about influencing people and organizations towards a common goal or vision, and it requires the ability to make tough decisions, inspire and motivate others, and adapt to changing circumstances.

One of the key traits of successful business leaders is a clear and compelling vision of where they want their organization to go and how they plan to get there. This requires not only a deep understanding of the industry and market trends but also the ability to think creatively and take calculated risks.

Featuring for The Enterprise World’s this issue of The Most Successful Business Leader to Watch Out are the stories of such leaders who are inspiring others.

For the cover story read aboutZac Hemming is a charismatic and energetic sales leader with a proven track record of consistently winning high levels of business within a competitive marketplace. He is recognized for his ability to quickly establish credibility with senior decision-makers in a wide range of business contexts to help grow the company brand and market share. With an outstanding track record of performance and commitment and delivering business value to the sales operation and customer.

Zac’s journey into the world of business and entrepreneurship was unconventional. Unlike many other successful entrepreneurs, his journey did not begin with pursuing higher education but by taking a leap of faith. After completing his GCSE education, his professional journey commenced in sales at a prominent web technology firm specializing in website development and online marketing solutions.

In his original life plan, Holger Schroth never envisioned a career in management. However, assigned to a telecommunications unit in the German Armed Forces, Schroth encountered a leader who exuded calmness and composure while remaining steadfast in his principles. This encounter sparked a newfound contemplation of goals. One critical lesson imparted by this manager was the value of constant learning and personal development—an aspect that Schroth still prioritizes today.

Following his foray into the realm of solar power, Schroth crossed paths with an entrepreneur in the photovoltaic industry.

Subsequently, Schroth’s path led him to a young Israeli/American start-up specializing in power optimizers and modulelevel monitoring. Here, as the Technical Marketing Manager, he immersed himself in the intricacies of bridging the gap between the market and the product team within an international company. Notably, the start-up he joined has since emerged as a world-leading inverter manufacturer.

Which drink do you prefer with pizza and burgers, Pepsi or Coca-Cola? It is a usual thing to find Coca-Cola bottles in nearby grocery shops. If you enjoy watching sports, then it is obvious to notice Coca-Cola ads. Have you ever thought about how this brand became so huge and grew as one of your household names? In this article, you will read about the successful journey of one of the world’s leading beverage brands, Coca-Cola.

Alternative to Morphine John Pemberton, who was injured during the American Civil War, is considered to be the man behind the brand. Pemberton, who had a medical degree, was also addicted to morphine and wanted to find some alternative to it. Soon in 1885, he registered Pemberton’s French Wine Coca as a nerve tonic. It was inspired by French-Corsican Wine Coca.

The Kola Coca, a Spanish drink, was represented in a contest at Philadelphia in 1885, exactly one year before the discovery of Coca-Cola. In 1888, there were three versions of Coca-Cola in the market. Later in 1953, the company purchased the rights to this Spanish drink. The brand wanted to be recognized by its original name rather than ‘Coke’. Moreover, it wished not to get confused with other non-healthy drinks.

SCHROTH SCHROTH SCHROTH

www.theenterpriseworld.com | 33

R

Renewable energy is the talk of the hour, and one name, Holger Schroth, stands out as a trailblazer in the industry. As the Chief Product Officer and Managing Director of Solar-Log GmbH, Schroth has proven himself to be an exceptional leader, driving innovation and spearheading the company’s growth with remarkable expertise. The Enterprise World is proud to introduce him as one of the Most Successful Business Leaders to Watch Out for in 2023.

With his visionary approach and keen understanding of the market, Schroth has consistently achieved remarkable results, solidifying his position as a prominent figure in the field. Through his unwavering commitment to excellence and relentless pursuit of sustainable solutions, he has

“

undoubtedly earned his place as a leader to be reckoned with.

He believes that business leadership has undergone a significant transformation in recent years.

According to him, thriving in today’s competitive landscape requires certain quintessential qualities. Gone are the days of hierarchical functions; business leadership now presents a holistic challenge that extends beyond formal responsibilities.

Schroth adds, “Today, a manager or a leader must be strongly involved in many topics or contribute in such a way that colleagues are inspired by his or her ideas and actions. The focus is no longer solely on efficiency but also on fostering the development and commitment of team members.”

In many cases, finding innovative solutions to problems becomes paramount. Consequently, leadership in the present era presents an exhilarating and demanding undertaking for every manager. With his insightful perspective and commitment to excellence, Schroth exemplifies the essence of contemporary business leadership.

But where did it all start? Let’s take a look at his professional journey.

The Power of Purpose In his original life plan, Holger Schroth never envisioned a career in management. However, assigned to a telecommunications unit in the German Armed Forces, Schroth encountered a leader who exuded calmness and composure while remaining steadfast in his principles. This encounter sparked a newfound contemplation of goals. One critical lesson imparted by this manager was the value of constant learning and personal development—an aspect that Schroth still prioritizes today.

Following his foray into the realm of solar power, Schroth crossed paths with an entrepreneur in the photovoltaic industry. Although PV modules and battery storage were nascent technologies at the time, the entrepreneur’s captivating story piqued his interest, compelling him to join the company. Initially starting as a technical trainer and later transitioning to the role of product manager for inverters and battery storage, he discovered the significance of effective and targeted storytelling.

Subsequently, Schroth’s path led him to a young Israeli/American start-up specializing in power optimizers and module-level monitoring. Here, as the Technical Marketing Manager, he

immersed himself in the intricacies of bridging the gap between the market and the product team within an international company. Notably, the start-up he joined has since emerged as a world-leading inverter manufacturer.

“Today, I am learning a lot again and can additionally improve and use my learned skills by applying and deepening agile leadership methods and agile development processes in an established company like Solar-Log. So, the journey remains exciting.”

Shaping the Future Founded in 2004, Solar-Log embarked on a remarkable journey that culminated in its acquisition by a Swiss energy group during a highly successful initial growth phase. Today, as an integral part of the BKW Group, Solar-Log operates in alignment with the overarching vision of its parent company: creating infrastructures for living spaces with a future.

In the early 2000s, Solar-Log emerged as a pioneering force in the realm of solar energy. Even at that time, the company possessed a forward-thinking

perspective, recognizing the escalating significance of alternative energy sources. Anticipating the finite nature of fossil fuel reserves and the impending surge in energy demand, it proactively positioned itself. Aiming to establish a reliable and autonomous power supply through photovoltaics, the company embarked on a relentless pursuit of innovative and tailor-made energy system solutions.

Today, Solar-Log stands as a trusted independent partner, empowering businesses worldwide to efficiently and profitably manage the energy generated by their photovoltaic systems. By

www.theenterpriseworld.com | 35

offering reliable monitoring services and delivering high-quality ‘Made in Germany’ products, it equips its clientele with the tools necessary to actively contribute to the global energy transition while simultaneously safeguarding the environment.

Through its unwavering commitment to excellence and sustainability, SolarLog has solidified its position as a driving force behind the widespread adoption of renewable energy solutions.

Driving Growth and Success At the helm of Solar-Log, Schroth deftly juggles numerous roles and responsibilities, assuming a multitude of hats within the organization.

36 | November 2023

However, he recognizes the strength of collaboration. He says, “The great thing is that I don’t have to shoulder everything myself, as part of a management team we benefit from the fact that each of us has our strengths and weaknesses and we complement each other very well.”

Schroth’s specific area of expertise lies in product strategy, overseeing the development processes that span from conception to production. This multifaceted task presents an exhilarating challenge, requiring him to harmonize market dynamics with organizational processes. He also addresses the diverse challenges encountered in day-to-day operations.

Throughout his illustrious journey, Schroth has amassed a series of notable accomplishments. He takes pride in his direct involvement in gathering user feedback during the early stages of product launches. This hands-on approach enables him to swiftly identify and rectify any minor or major issues, ensuring that Solar-Log’s products meet the highest standards.

Additionally, Schroth has made significant strides in stabilizing roadmap processes, ensuring that the company remains focused on critical priorities and agreedupon objectives. These achievements demonstrate his commitment to continuous improvement and his dedication to delivering exceptional value to Solar-Log’s customers.

Nurturing Connections In pursuit of staying attuned to the ever-evolving business landscape, Holger Schroth remains committed to staying informed and adaptable.

Recognizing the importance of change in driving progress, he actively seeks opportunities to update his knowledge and insights.

For Schroth, fostering personal connections and engaging in exchanges with individuals outside of his immediate industry holds great significance. By engaging with diverse perspectives, he broadens his own thinking and gains valuable insights that inform his decision-making. This commitment to understanding various viewpoints enables him to navigate the complexities of the business world with a well-rounded perspective.

Furthermore, he also recognizes the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Regularly disconnecting from work, especially during periods dedicated to personal education, allows him to recharge and cultivate a sense of well-being.

Additionally, Schroth finds solace and balance in his passion for archery, finding it to be a rewarding pursuit outside of his professional responsibilities. This commitment to self-care ensures that he remains energized and focused in all areas of his life.

“If you enjoy what you do, it’s easy to put your free time on the back burner.”

Seeking Opportunities Schroth encountered several challenges during his professional journey, with one of the most significant being the

transition from his military service to the private sector. Shifting from a highly structured and hierarchical organization to an environment that thrived on initiative, collaboration, and creative thinking proved to be a formidable adjustment. Nonetheless, he embraced the change and quickly adapted to the dynamic nature of the business world.

In addition to the initial transition, navigating cultural differences presented another set of challenges.

Interacting with individuals from diverse backgrounds required a deeper level of engagement and understanding. However, Schroth was fortunate to have a mentor who played a pivotal role during his time at an Israeli/American company—Yoni Ziv. He holds immense admiration for Ziv, as he not only imparted valuable

www.theenterpriseworld.com | 37

lessons on intercultural competence but also demonstrated remarkable technical expertise. Through their everyday interactions, Ziv skillfully guided Schroth in developing a nuanced understanding of working effectively across cultures, fostering personal growth in both professional and interpersonal realms.

Schroth’s ability to overcome these challenges with resilience and a willingness to learn exemplifies his adaptable and open-minded approach to his professional journey. Through these experiences, he gained valuable insights that continue to shape his leadership style and intercultural competencies today.

Long-standing Success A key element contributing to the enduring success of the company lies

38 | November 2023

in its exceptional customer access.

With a focused approach in core markets, the company has achieved remarkable penetration, establishing deep connections with customers and engaging in projects from their nascent stages. This early involvement allows for a thorough understanding of customer needs and enables the company to deliver tailored solutions.

Schroth adds, “Another crucial driver of success has been the relentless pursuit of compatibility expansion. By continually enhancing compatibility with various systems and technologies, we ensured greater flexibility to meet the evolving demands of its users.”

This commitment to adaptability positions the company at the forefront of the industry, catering to a wide range of customer requirements and preferences.

Furthermore, the company’s keen focus on overall success plays a pivotal role in sustaining its growth.

Emphasizing profitability, it promptly discards unprofitable ideas, ensuring a streamlined and efficient operation.

This decisive approach enables the company to prioritize resources effectively, channeling efforts into ventures that yield the highest returns and fuel long-term success. By consistently making sound business decisions, the company maintains its competitive edge and secures its position as a leader in the industry.

A Culture of Trust and Collaboration The team at Solar-Log comprises a diverse group of colleagues who collaborate seamlessly, despite being spread across the globe. Building and maintaining such a global team

requires a foundation of trust, which Schroth readily extends to his employees.

“I am convinced that every employee is ready to contribute in an appropriate environment and that new ideas will emerge as a result.”

Adopting a coaching approach, Schroth sees himself as a facilitator rather than a traditional authoritative figure. Rather than simply giving orders, he encourages a culture of continuous improvement. During planning meetings or project reviews, the focus lies not on assigning blame but on identifying areas where the team can collectively enhance their performance.

This collaborative mindset allows for a vibrant exchange of ideas and fosters an atmosphere of growth and development. Schroth finds great satisfaction in witnessing the personal and professional growth of both young and experienced colleagues as they embrace their responsibilities and rise to the challenges presented to them.

Case Study www.theenterpriseworld.com | 45

As PepsiCo has taken Lay’s under its wings, the potato chips brand has succeeded in dominating the chips market since 1940. 83 years and counting, the brand is loved by all ages of the population globally. As years went by, Lay’s stood with its head held high in the list of the best potato chips ever.

In settings like friends’ get-togethers, or house parties, these days, a packet of chips opens up without any doubts. A favorite snack of all, it is the most common chips brand that exists globally. Its crunchy sound due to the big size, is the main highlight which gives the consumers a feel of having chips. The taste is so tempting, that you cannot have just one. It stands by their slogan which is “Betcha Can’t Eat Just One”. Try it for yourself!

Named after the surname of founder Herman Lay, the brand’s main agenda is to be available globally at every nook and corner. With 200 flavors in total, the distribution of the same is implemented regionwise. Flavors from barbeque chips to lemon-flavored chips to cream and onion ones, the diverse options have been curated after a deep and considerable amount of constant research. Good taste with quality was the main agenda when it conducted the research and surveys. Lay’s has a legacy of onboard global celebrity figures as its brand ambassadors.

46 | November 2023

Case Study How it became the best potato chips brand: Do Us a Flavor Campaign: PepsiCo launched this campaign in July 2012 at Times Square by establishing a temporary store and merchandising its 22 Lay’s Chips flavors. The idea was a huge hit on Facebook. They created a Facebook Page that allowed people to share their proposals for the new flavor they’ve thought of.

PepsiCo partnered with Facebook to replace the “Like” button with the “I’d Eat That” button for some time.

Celeb endorsements & event sponsorships: From Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Juhi Chawla, Parineeti Chopra, Ronaldo, and Wasim Akram all of them have endorsed Lay’s potato chips some time or the other.

Controversy faced: The famous controversy of the brand where the brand sued a number of Indian farmers, claiming they had

grown a potato variety FC5 which only Lay’s had a patent to cultivate. Later it so happened, that the Indian Law doesn’t grant any Intellectual Protection Rights to seeds of plants. Resulting in the case was dismissed by the Indian Supreme Court when a number of supporters came in favor of the Indian farmers. A number of social activists, especially women came forward to support the farmers. In response, PepsiCo filed a revocation of the patent against the farmers and the women who were in support of the farmers. The Delhi High Court did not feel the need to address the accusations of public interest violation by PepsiCo. Later, PepsiCo removed all the lawsuits against the farmers and encouraged a peaceful environment.

Impulsive ad campaigns : Lay’s Gourmet: Lay’s amalgamated with the Bollywood actor, Saif Ali Khan, to endorse the royal segment Lay’s Gourmet. A perfect celeb to select for a new segment. As

www.theenterpriseworld.com | 47

everyone knows Saif Ali Khan is the royal heir of the Pataudi castle. Lay’s has mindfully onboarded him into their TVC. The brand claims that it started a gourmet segment to introduce its slow-cooked, elegant, and rich crunched bite. So no better choice other than on-boarding the Nawab of Bollywood, isn’t it? To depict the regalness and the rich heritage of both the Pataudi Nawab and their own flavor of their gourmet segment, Lay’s formulated an ad keeping in mind a similar regard.

Passport to Flavor: In this campaign, Lay’s offered four delicious new flavors to customers with a chance to win some travel-related prizes or trips to exotic destinations. Flavors introduced were Brazilian, Chinese, Greek, and Indian. In the respective regions, these flavors were a hit and widely accepted by people. Customers were invited to try these flavors and given opportunities to win a chance to visit these countries. It naturally brings the world together and guides us to explore the flavors that are specific to a single continent or a country, others get a chance to experience the taste of diverse flavors.

Taste of America: In anticipation of targeting millennials, Lay’s Potato Chips started 8 new flavors. As to creating excitement and curiosity, the potato chips brand targeted the youth who visit food festivals often. Introducing these flavors as a limited-edition segment, they also used “Fear Of Missing Out” (FOMO) as a shield. The youth are always on the lookout for something new and like to explore the same.

They were also allowed to share the images of the product on their own social media handles while tagging Lay’s chips.

Case Study

Happiness is Simple: This ad campaign of Lay’s meant spreading smiles and happiness.

The company requested its customers to send photos of themselves holding the packet such that it depicts the customer as smiling. The smiling image was already imprinted on the packet itself. A charming initiative by Lay’s to engage the customers, as the brand decided to share these photos via a photo montage on the website. A simple message is that the brand spreads happiness as it is consumed when the environment is happy and cheerful.

SNACKY COMPETITOR’S WAITING IN LINE: Dorito’s: Among the competitors of Lay’s Chips, Dorito’s is a tortilla chip brand by PepsiCo. As the brand is always finding opportunities for spreading happiness, it established a manufacturing unit in the “happiest place on earth”, Disneyland. A ready-to-eat food item, it always tops the preferences of the audience, after Lay’s.

It has created a craze amongst the general public, as it is the first choice of people.

Pringles: This one is an American chip brand, which was sold in over 140 countries, owned by Kellogg’s. Founded in 1967, it was marketed by the famous Procter & Gamble (P&G) in the United States but was later sold to Kellogg’s in around 2012. The brand also faced the situation of customers complaining of air in the packet, head-on. The brand explained the need to do so at their end, to maintain the quality and the crunch of the chips.

Nestle:

Kellogg's:

Nestle has a wide range of products, from, coffee, tea, baby food, and dairy products, and much more. The brand operates in 194 countries with factory setups numbering up to 450. It employs 3,39,000 people for smooth functioning. Operation management is also a huge win-win for the brand. The most famous product Maggi has topped the charts of the quickest recipe. With its wide variety of other products, Nestle is the most loved competitor of the Lay’s potato chips brand.

Kellogg’s is again, similar to Nestle, a multipleproducts company, based in the United States.

Recognized as the world’s largest cereal company, the brand has crossed more than $ 15 billion worth of sales. It is considered the world’s second-largest manufacturer of savory snacks, cookies, and crackers. As cereal is the most loved breakfast in the United States, the brand is the largest producer of the same and still remains at the top of the list, while being a competitor for Lay’s potato chips too.

Lay’s Logo:

Meaning:

The logo of Lay’s Chips represents energy, power, and passion. It instigates and generates a feeling of temptation and hunger. It is a psychological trick played by many brands in the food and beverage industry. Also, the packaging of Lay’s potato chips is colorful, with one color for each flavor. The brand has redesigned its logo several times before in order to attract prospects and existing audiences. In the logo, the name of the founder Herman Lay remains as it is, due to the popularity of the brand. The gradient yellow-orange circle symbolizes the sun and potato.

The brightness of the logo represents a happy life, a productive life, and stability as the logo has undergone a lot of small changes, without changing the main theme. All this represents a crisp, well-made, and appetizing snack. In front of the yellow circle is the red banner with a white inscription, which draws most of the attention. The use of the rich colors and the emblem made as a whole form the logo in totality.

Who made the logo?

A firm called Landor Associates created the logo first for Frito Lay, it was made by one of the staff members. The yellow ball and a red ribbon began to be used in 1997, the first time the logo was used. Frito Lay had a similar logo at that time which was refined and a bit modified for Lay’s. So, it is safe to say that the logo was made by Landor associates.

LAY’S STATS TO LOOK FOR: Annual Turnover:

1.2 Billion USD

Annual Revenue:

800 Million USD

Sold in a total number of Countries:

200

Brand Value:

$8.6 Billion

Number of Employees:

60,000

Market Cap:

$222.8 Billion

50 | November 2023

Case Study CONCLUSION: Lay’s is a globally popular brand that is on the conscience of people when they have to gather together. It is the trendsetter in the potato chips category. As in today’s times it is the original snack and will always be. A lot of new brands started coming up after it made its entry into the market. As it is looked up as an unhealthy snack item, the company introduced a new gourmet segment, wherein its chips are baked not fried, which makes it healthier to consume. A few incidences like boycotting the snack have happened in yesteryears, so it has become alert on that front. Being the brand that serves chips in multiple countries, it continues to innovate and carries on its research.
