Rachita Sharma, Managing Editor , 0
The ability to empower others to perform to the best of their abilities is what separates a good leader from a great one. A company is only as strong as its weakest employee. A sharp business leader understands this and ensues that he/ she creates an empowered team that rises to the occasion when the need arises.
Leaders who empower others, ultimately achieve business success. This philosophy is embodied by few business leaders. The current edition of CEOInsights Asia magazine features a few such exemplary names from across Asia.
