Kamprad was no ordinary CEO—his leadership philosophy was rooted in humility, hands-on involvement, and a relentless focus on cost-efficiency. We explore how his values shaped IKEA’s unique corporate culture, his approach to decentralized decision-making, and why his model of servant leadership remains relevant for leaders in all industries.
