Background
It doesn't matter how innovative your product or marketing strategy may be, the HR carry those plans out and if the HR isn't happy, the implantation is far less efficient.
This is a continuation of similar research done by MIT, US Dept of Labor, Fortune, and Forbes in the 1990s summarized in Rob H. Rosen's 1996 book "Leading People'
He lists 8 proven leadership principles found in successful enterprises:
1. Vision
2. Trust
3. Participation
4. Learning
5. Diversity
6. Creativity
7. Integrity
8 Community
With plenty of real life examples to show they work. (reference: ISBN 0-670-858740-90
Scope of Research
This research seeks to discover and evaluate new techniques not described by Rosen, and to collect objective data that can prove the effectiveness along with subjective employee comments that indicate a level of employee loyalty.
Methodology
I have may ideas but would like to get a group consensus on the best way to carry this out.
