How to create a celebratory culture
Albert M. Berriz
CEO, McKinley Inc.

Albert M. Berriz doesn’t believe a great executive comes into being by chance. Sure, you can be born with instincts, and you should celebrate those instincts, but you can’t just rest on your laurels, Berriz says.
That’s why the CEO of real estate company McKinley Inc. stresses education, which he believes is a driver to becoming a top-notch executive. And to emphasize the importance of education, the company which posted 2007 revenue of $167.1 million gives raises to reward employees who participate in classes.
