“Gruss Gott ! Finally I find you!”

Europe, to the majority, is a seemingly undulating mass of uniformity with precious little to separate one sprawling metropolis from the next. In a ‘me-too’ world, where predilection lies towards keeping up with the Joneses, to stumble upon rustic mountain magnificence, such as the terrain of Austria, is exhilarating. Unmistakably distinctive in its demeanor and radiating baroque perfection in every manner imaginable, my senses were set abuzz the moment I heartily treaded my way through Vienna International Airport, beginning the passage through a land I had long yearned to explore. It was as if a solitary piece had gone missing from a giant jigsaw, and it was to be christened Julian, my guide elect and shining beacon to be.

We’ve spent 35 years assessing executive motivation, and we’ve seen a steady increase during the past decade in the number of managers for whom achievement is the primary motive.
