management strategies and employee performance.

“I notice increasing reluctance on
the part of marketing executives to
use judgment; they are coming to
rely too much on research, and they
use it as a drunkard uses a lamp
post for support, rather than for
illumination.”
David Ogilvy – The Father of
Advertising
REMEMBER THIS,
―Your intelligence and competencies may you
take far but it is INTEGRITY that will take you
THERE.‖
