This case study examines the key characters at Gadgets, such as the visionary CEO, the innovative CTO, and the resourceful COO, each driven by a desire to lead the tech industry. We explore Gadgets' early organizational culture characterized by creativity and collaboration. Evidence of this culture includes team decision-making and open communication. The company's history highlights three pivotal moments: its founding, a major product launch, and a leadership overhaul. Each played a crucial role in shaping its future. As leadership evolved, Gadgets shifted from a centralized to a decentralized structure, fostering an organic growth process.
