Final Words Of Advice: The CEO Is The New Governor
The objective of today's CEO is survival; survival in terms of enterprise position. The CEO has to pick up the shattered remnants left behind by the lies and failures of elected officials and institutions. Today's senior executive needs to be a congressman, judge, mayor and priest all rolled up into one. The livelihood of one's employees/constituency depends on the expansion tactics, emotional stamina, intellectual foresight and willingness to enter into an economic cage brawl to protect the company, shareholders and employees that depend on the entity's survival for monetary sustenance.

Power And The Flipside To The Pyramid Of Influence
When I go to political functions or functions that claim to have the who's who in attendance I find it fascinating to stand back and watch people interact.

Taking A Company Public: The Importance of ‘Swagger’
I've been involved with more mergers and acquisitions and IPOs than I can even count. I've been called many names when I'm getting involved with corporate turnaround consulting but the most common of these terms are: arrogant, cocky and hardheaded. I take these names as a feather in the cap and a notch on the belt because the worst thing that can happen is that a company or board of directors hires a wimp or pushover.
