About this ebook
The senior executives of more than fifty of Canada's most successful private companies invite readers behind the closed doors of their enterprises to share critical lessons in achieving business excellence. In Power of the Best, authors Peter Brown and John Hughes delve into ten themes that are essential to business success, illustrated by front-line examples from repeat winners of the Canada's Best Managed Companies award. Readers learn how businesses from an array of industries and regions have excelled in meeting the specific management challenges and opportunities of technology, sustainability, branding and marketing, mergers and acquisition, funding growth, succession planning, leadership, globalization, attracting and retaining talent, and productivity. Senior executives explain in their own words how these issues are being met and leveraged to their advantage, providing insights not only into their own businesses but also into the strategies that entrepreneurs and executives in enterprises large and small need to master, regardless of their specific product or service.
