Hewitt initiated the
Top Companies for Leaders research in 2001
seeking to identify those factors that allow financially successful
organizations to consistently produce great leaders. Our first results,
published in 2002, uncovered a link between financial success and
great leadership practices, and identified differentiating elements
found only in
Top Companies. Subsequent undertakings in 2003 and
2005 further expanded the foundation for our 2007 global study.
In this issue, we present highlights of the new global study, as well as
more specific information about the results and the
Top Companies for
Leaders in Asia Pacific.
There were some very interesting developments and findings within
the Asia Pacific segment of the research. I’ll let you read more about
these in the features covered in this issue of
HQ.
What I found particularly interesting are some of the comments by the
regional judges. All predicted that, in the next study, China and India
will have a far greater presence. Their observations are profound,
recognizing that truly great companies and great leaders exist and are
increasing throughout the region.
In related areas for this issue, we also provide insights from other
recent studies, including
Best Employers in Asia. In another article, we
provide insights into setting up share-based long-term incentives for
employees in China.
We have added three new columns to
HQ Asia Pacific too. I am sure
you will find the articles informative and helpful in meeting your
information needs.
Enjoy the read.
