How Omar chooses leaders

Management experts believe that the success of every organization—after God’s grace—is due to its leader. They are now searching for the best and most successful ways to select leaders capable of leading their organizations toward the shores of success, achievement, and excellence.

We wonder: How did Omar choose them? And what does modern management science say about that?
