A range of voices is included in these pages. A Ritz-Carlton executive tells how his company is reinventing its world-class brand, while a leader at Ann Taylor describes how the retailer invests in talent. Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman probes how customers think, while one of the founding fathers of the Internet, Vinton Cerf, speculates on the future of a connected world. With its lively writing and penetrating, research-driven insights, "The Best of the Gallup Management Journal 2001-2007" is essential reading for leaders who want to engage employees and customers in a hyper-competitive and ever-changing global economy.
