1. [Leadership Dr. Muhammad Yunus] April 21, 2014 1 Mohaimin Ul Jobair Leadership - Assignment Executive Summary: Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus is a Bangladeshi banker and economist. He is the developer and founder of the concept of microcredit, the extension of small loans to entrepreneurs too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans. Yunus is also the founder of Grameen Bank. In 2006, they were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, "for their efforts to create economic and social development from below. The Grameen Bank (in Bengali, Grameen means rural) which Dr. Yunus has built over the last 22 years is today the largest rural bank in Bangladesh. It has over 2 million borrowers and works in 35000 villages in a country of 68000 villages. 94% of its borrowers are women. The bank is based on simple, sensible rules, meticulous organization, imagination and peer pressure among borrowers. The break that Grameen Bank offers is a collateral-free loan, sometimes equivalent to just a few U.S. dollars and rarely more than $100. In rural areas, it makes things happen. 98% of its loans are honored. Thus he has turned into reality a philosophy that the poorest of the poor are the most deserving in the land and that given the opportunity they can lift themselves out of the mire of poverty. His ideas combine capitalism with social responsibility. Micro-credit concept is now being practiced in 58 countries. In the US, it is a success even with the Shifting poor of Chicago's toughest districts. The United States alone has over 500 Grameen spin-offs. Bill Clinton said in his election campaign that Yunus deserved a Nobel Peace Prize and cited the Experiment of Dr. Yunus as a model for rebuilding the inner cities of America. Pilot projects are starting in Britain. The methods are adapted to suit local conditions, but the principle of empowering individuals with their own capital is the same.
