Essentials for Success in Corporate Life

When it comes to success in the corporate life - everyone has their own definition of it, as each person is looking at it from their level. So there is no precise definition of success. But in essence, mathematically you can say, that "Success is about reaching from point A to point B."
Nowadays, most of the so called successful breed in the knowledge economy is passed out from the best of the Tech. colleges and B-Schools, to even further glorify their path they would also not leave any stone upturned in their learning and  would surely attempt to get their lessons from the best of the management gurus in the world. Just as you have the 4 Ps (Product, Price, Place and Promotion) essential for the success of any product, they say that you need to have the 4 Ps (Passion, Plan, Patience and Perseverance)  in you for your own success too.
But the question is what happened to the success of the some of the most glorified of them all who were like celebrities in the Indian IT world ! ! ! To name a few Mr. Ramalinga Raju (Satyam CEO and Founder) and Phaneesh Murthy (iGate CEO)? Did these folks not have all the ingredients mentioned above to be successful? What made the whole building of their success collapse ??

Answer to these questions in my opinion is: The essential foundation to one's success is 3 Cs and that is Character, Congruent Communication and Compassionate Leadership.
