Copying other organizations' activities sounds like industrial espionage to
some people, but the truth is that benchmarking is perfectly legal and ethical.
Managers are people who do things right and leaders are people who do the right things.
The leader ... is rarely the brightest person in the group. Rather, they have extraordinary taste, which makes them more curators
than creators. They are appreciators of talent and nurturers of talent and they have the ability to recognize valuable ideas.
The only way many companies can attract and keep the best people is by offering them
more than merely money or prestige - they offer them the chance to make history.
Too many companies believe people are interchangeable. Truly gifted people never are. They have
unique talents. Such people cannot be forced into roles they are not suited for, not should they be.
