“Helen Keller, author, speaker, and advocate for disabled persons, asserted,"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.

“How do I identify the top 20 percent influencers/producers in my organization?” I suggest that you make a list of everyone in your company or department.
