People across the world are facing the greatest challenge in contemporary history -- the need to create a new environment for living and working. The fall of the mighty economies and the regeneration of the Asia, African and Latin American economies have generated a new corporate milieu. Therefore, businesses are re-engineering their operations to achieve excellence. Young boys and girls coming out of universities and business schools and getting into professional life find that success in this new environment is not easy. "Reach the Top" helps in filling this gap between excellence and mediocrity. It tries to provide a practical way of identifying what it takes to achieve excellence in life and career; and how to reach the top of a professional career - whatever your global location. This is not about an abstract thought process but about daring to be different and controlling the future on your own terms.
