Flip Flippen: Separate Great Leaders from Typical Leaders
There I sat, listening to a business friend who had not received the promotion that he had hoped and worked for. He was obviously disappointed and seriously considering a move to a different organization.
He made it clear that the person the board had chosen was not qualified to lead. In fact, my friend was positive that he should have been chosen and it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to consider what it would be like to work for the new president. This is a common event in the corporate world, and it is one of the most difficult situations to be in. Continue…

Money and time. The two topics most people avoid are the ones we’re tackling head-on in our February issue. Most of us struggle with time and money at some point, whether it’s learning to manage our schedules, setting up a plan for retirement or just trying to get out of debt.
We at SUCCESS magazine believe one of the best ways to take control of your time and money is to start your own business. And so do the folks at the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards. The competition, a program of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, honors individuals who run a business while enrolled in a college or university.
