Dennis Bakke is the co-founder and former CEO of AES, one of the largest power companies in the world. The company currently has over 100 million customers and makes $13 billion a year. Bakke believes that companies should adopt a decentralized management style, where workers are given more freedom and trust, and where values such as transparency, service, and ethics are prized. His idealistic approach for the company was replaced with a more centralized approach when the energy industry took a hit, and Enron collapsed in the early 2000s.
