HOW TO FIND YOUR NEXT "A" PLAYER
St. Louis' Top Executives Share What Kind of Worplace Attracted Them
by Jeremy Nulik
Often we focus on the accomplishments and accolades of an individual entrepreneur. We have this almost romantic notion of a business hero who, against all odds, has conquered his industry's landscape.
It is true that many entrepreneurs are deserving of the spotlight, but equally deserving are the people that surround them. The folks who come in on a day off, create new ways to move those entreprneurial ideas forward and provide the flexibility needed for small business success. Each of our Top Executives offers a lesson in how to attract A-players - people who are like them.
