Top U.S. Companies for Leaders Announced
3M, General Electric and Johnson & Johnson recently headed the 2005 list of Top 20 U.S. Companies for Leaders, which was sponsored by Hewitt and The Human Resource Planning Society. The study, which was launched in 2001, aims to identify the factors that allow financially successful companies to consistently produce great leaders. An independent panel of judges selected this year's winners from over 370 participating companies, identifying one element that clearly set the winning companies apart from the rest-more rigor around developing their future leaders. Specifically, the study found that all of the Top 20 Companies focus on developing leaders and have CEOs who are actively involved in this process. Even more revealing, 85 percent of the Top 20 Companies hold their leaders accountable for developing their direct reports. |
