Having graduated myself in recession after engg in 2002 , I can really co-relate with his thought and they are so true. It is really important to keep patience and not loose long term focus and trust me you will definately reach your goal...Recession or No Recession..!!!

Next rulers in Corporate world!!!

What is the next driving factor for corporate growth.... is it just corporate strategy and organisations who blindly put people after it without taking care about employees interest....
or
Second- innovative corporate strategy which leads the organisation with people along with it and use employees strength areas as the tool.

I feel the latter.. and this is thought is somewhat similar to what I read in one of Tom Peters book Re-Imagine.
Employees and HR is the next big area which can play as game maker or game broker in corporate strategy world. As well and done on boardroom presentations can go to dumps if right execution of keeping employees motivated is not done.

It is a truth that company priority is to maximise shareholder value but this is often assumed that shareholders are only one who are their buying stocks. THe goal then becomes to make them rich.And in this process, the main shareholders or the real executors "the employees" are least cared of.
Past 2 decade might have seen some companies flourishing only through corporate strategy but coming two decade will only favour those organisations which will move priority to make their employees rich and happy only as a logical step to make their shareholders happy.
