Key Points
By promoting from within, a company’s legacy and culture is seamlessly passed on.
Don’t hire people for jobs, hire them for careers. Focus on hiring people when they are young and try to keep them for their entire career.
Most CEOs are only good at one or two things, and that’s what they should focus on.
Tell your supervisors what your goals are.
When you’re in a leadership position, always remember where you came from.
