Best Practices for Leading via Innovation - Rick Lash - Harvard Business Review

Best Practices for Leading via Innovation - Rick Lash - Harvard Business Review: "What do General Electric (GE), Procter & Gamble (P&G) and IBM have in common? All three companies nurture and energize talent, carving out the necessary resources to invest in recruiting, selecting and growing the people who will become their future leaders.

So it's no surprise that GE, P&G and IBM occupy the top three spots in Hay Group's seventh annual Best Companies for Leadership (BCL) ranking. Our study clearly shows that great leadership is a strong competitive advantage, with the top 20 BCL firms far outperforming the S&P 500 benchmark on shareholder returns.

Beyond strong financial performance, the top 20 BCL companies have something else in common. In an era of intense globalization, rapid demographic change and accelerating technological progress, the best companies for leadership recognize the value of innovation, putting it at the heart of their corporate culture and using this targeted, focused innovation to drive shareholder value and improve efficiency."
