Two companies in the same sector, positioned in the same markets, in which they provide a relatively similar line of products and services, quite often still perform very differently. Of course, the history of the companies and their progress along the experience and innovation curves, the balance of their business portfolios, and their human capital are important factors in this difference of performance, but all else being equal, the difference is also born out of the quality and cohesion of their managers.

Every person, and every manager, has a set of qualities, areas of expertise, and shortcomings that must be successfully combined with those of his or her colleagues to build a team, one that will be unique and able to make the difference with its guidance and leadership abilities.
