Who Gets Results and Most Important - WHY?

Fascinating article in WSJ today “Touch CEO’s Ofter Most Successful, a Study Finds”, by George Anders, pp B2.  Fascinating because it’s based on a closely held survey of corporate CEO’s run  for stock analysts.  It’s a real insight into who runs major corporations and what personal traits leads them to be successful.  The caveat in […]
