Communication – Personal Development – Business

I am in the process of completing another chapter in my next book and I wanted to share some of the research I’m working on.  I asked key leaders of small and large companies (like American Express, McCarthy Construction, IPC The Hospitalist, Starwood) what they looked for when hiring, promoting and firing people.  You won’t be surprised to find out they will not let the spoiled brats, or other bad behavior get in the way of running a successful company.  You will note it is all about personal responsibility, developing yourself and especially communications!
