Dream. Think. Become...three powerful words that describe the management role of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO), as he or she pursues the creation, growth, and preservation of wealth for his or her organization. Management in this sense, as someone once observed, “...is truly the most creative of all arts, since the medium is human talent itself ”.
