'» Asked to paint a picture of the
company in 20 years, the executives mentioned such things as «on the cover of Business Week as a model success story... the Fortune most admired top - ten list... the best science and business graduates want to work here... people on airplanes rave about one of our products to seatmates... 20 consecutive years of
profitable growth... an entrepreneurial
culture that has spawned half a dozen new divisions from within... management gurus use us as an example of excellent management and progressive thinking,» and so on.
And over the years, my passion for business has centered around
culture and the relationship between driving an employee - focused
culture and then how that leads to, not only better
company, but a more
profitable company.
