Workplace Innovation: The Immigrant Perspective on Business Leadership

Business


In the world of business, we recognize those who sell well, but we respect and remember those who give well. There’s nothing wrong with recognition. It helps to advance a career, company, or cause. The worker must ensure that his boss sees his success. The company must ensure that its consumers see the effect of its product or service. The nonprofit must make its needs known. But smart people don’t seek recognition alone. In fact, they don’t seek it primarily. Those that lead with the immigrant’s perspective understand that respect is more lasting than recognition.
