THE SECRET TO SUCCESS IN LIFE

Reaching the top of most admired companies is not an

easy job. To make it, a company needs innovative
products, financial stamina, global reach, empowered
employees, and a devotion to share holders. And if
getting to the top of the list is hard, staying there is even
tougher. Every year business moves a bit faster, the
competition gets a little more menacing, and the world
seems slightly smaller. The answer to how some
companies manage to stay ahead year in and year out
isnt luck. Leadership is what it is all about. In today's
environment leaders must do far more than merely meet
the numbers. To effectively implement the strategy they
must put people first and continually connect with and
motivate their human capital.
