What Makes a Company Successful? by Elizabeth Franks
We asked fifteen of the most innovative and well-known leaders in business today about what made their companies so successful. They all agreed that a truly competitive and fast-growing company must have the following qualities.
•Leadership: No one person today is smart enough to be in total control of all the parts of a company. The role of today's company leaders is to teach, encourage creativity, and help produce other leaders in each level of an organization.
• Innovation: The ability to invent new products, processes, and possibilities is what innovation is all about. In an economy led by change and speed, every company needs leaders who can motivate workers to be innovative.
• Learning: Competition today means that the knowledge an organization gathers is more important than the number of branch offices it opens. If a company wants to grow quickly, it needs people who can keep learning quickly.
The industry leaders whom we spoke with stressed that it is not only the upper management, but also the employees, who help develop these essential qualities. ALL must work together to build a successful business.

A. it will develop essential qualities in management personnel. B. it will give the employees in a company a chance to change jobs more quickly. C. it will help a company to open new branch offices. D. it will help a compnay to grow quickly in a competative world.
