A survey of what management qualities are necessary to - firstly - make it to the very top, and then, to create and sustain organizational excellence. There are some surprising conclusions: the individual, dynamic leader is not the key to corporate success. Rather, real power lies with the top team: it is the team which is the prime worker in sustaining corporate high performance. Furthermore, "The Wealth Creators" goes on to examine what the best-performing teams have in common. It demonstrates that there are in fact five crucial elements shared by the vast majority of high-achieving teams, elements which can be transferred and implanted in executive teams currently working below par. Based on the analysis of 1100 senior managers representing 740 organizations, this is the study of top management in the UK today.
