business world requires executives to achieve success despite the complexities of conflicts, competition and the tapering off in trying to reach top positions in the corporate world. Sometimes the most efficient survive, sometimes the most ruthless and sometimes the whole process seems unfair. At the end of ones career you may have a great sense of achievement or dejection. Those who meet with failure enter a vacuum, and retirement is viewed with fear, dread and not as a sense of anticipation.
