Will we have flying cars ?

Ricky Nowak

Ricky specialises in developing leaders that know themselves – their
strengths and areas where they have specific opportunities for development . Working with Ricky , these leaders can get the best out of themselves , the individuals and teams they lead , the relationships they manage and the organisations they promote . They learn to monitor and improve their own leadership and management skills .
Unfortunately , probably not in the next five years . Even if we don ’ t get flying cars in the near future , the landscape of technology — especially in business — is an exciting and interesting thing to consider . Martin Duursma , CTO of Citrix , shared the company ’ s report on future technology in the workplace and his thoughts on Australia ’ s technological future .
And while flying cars may be unattainable , an employee remuneration system that isn ’ t based on money is . Ricky Nowak , a repeat contributor for us here at Business Review Australia , shares the benefits of educational opportunities and what some companies do besides giving cash bonuses .
Our final article in our new format shares all the luxury you could want this holiday season , with a top 10 list of Australia ’ s most luxurious hotels and resorts . These are don ’ t-want-to-miss locales that will take your breath away and rejuvenate you for the New Year !
Happy Holidays , and enjoy the issue !
