...those who ace their evaluations, the rankings can swell their self-esteem and wallets, a prospect that makes Enron a hotbed of overachievers. (And profitable too: Enron has reported increased earnings in each of the past four years.) The ranking system "attracts hard drivers," Kean says. "The proof is in the pudding. Our employees are very talented, and they're glad to be working here." In its latest ranking of the world's most admired companies, FORTUNE rated Enron No. 1 in innovativeness and No. 2 in getting and keeping talent...

...going to Cambridge (England) on a scholarship, the legion of consultants and I-bankers, and the summa cum laude graduate. These are amazing and talented people, to be sure, and beloved friends. But close association with them can be a bit tough on the ol’ self-esteem. The only one I feel a kinship with is the friend who’s going to Colorado to be a ski bum for a few years, though I’m sure he’ll win an Olympic skiing medal at some point...
