"Best Companies for Leaders". Donlon, J.; Chief Executive.Iss. 238. Jan/Feb, 2009. p. 38.
Only a handful of organizations have even begun to tap into their primary resource, their people, much less give them the means to do what they are capable of doing. Indeed, many take the opposite tack, disregard loyalty, prune rather than nurture and focus exclusively on the bottom line, forgetting that the only way to ensure continued profit is to develop people, particularly leaders at all levels. Because the authors have long believed that leadership development is one cornerstone of superior competitiveness, The Hay Group in partnership with Chief Executive has conducted its fourth annual study that identifies the top 20 companies across the world that demonstrate this organizational imperative at the highest level. All of the firms ranked have formal development processes and many offer action learning programs, where two to three times a year teams of leaders at different levels work on real-time competitive challenges. The 2008 Top 20 Best Companies for Leaders are presented.
