Leaders And Followers And The Laws Of Influence

In the world of economics and politics there are the influential and the followers.

Economic Alchemy: Are The International Elite Gods Or Monsters?

The undertaking of a corporate start-up is as American as apple pie and denim jeans. Start-ups come and go like the tide but for a very small, in the know group of beneficiaries; they can attribute their successes to a group of five power-brokers that are responsible for some of the most earth shattering mergers, political movements and corporate turnarounds in modern economic history.

Taking A Company Public – Eliminating Threats – The Economic Death Machine

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.

Sadly these people will go from one relationship to another, one fast food or retail job to the next and never make it in life, I have coined this the Ventresca Syndrome and you’ll find out why in a sentences.

What university students don’t realize until it’s too late is that instructors teach because they cannot ‘do’.
