There is no limit to the human spirit. Isn’t it amazing how innovation can thrive even amidst the most adverse circumstances?

The Bejing Olympic games demonstrate this principle. The facilities that have been built for this event demonstrate exceptional vision and craftsmanship. Many of the workers were forced by the government to build these structures, regardless of their other commitments. Yet, they took pride in what they were building and created things of beauty that represent the fire and passion of the games:

This is the kind of drive that we want to instill in our rising leaders. This is the kind of dedication and passion that brings long term success and sustainability. How is your talent management program? How are your executive leaders performing? Do your employees have this much passion about the work of their hands?
