Action: " Can your business profit from government incompetence much like FedEx and UPS have profited from the shortcomings of the U.S. Postal Service? If you work for the government, improve your effectiveness by concentrating on what works." Peter F. Drucker
I repeat (get the book) in order to read Dr. Drucker's thoughts on the topic.
How many congressional resignations will it take until the point sinks home? Our government leadership processes are in trouble. Are at risk of becoming mired in rhetoric just at the time when action is required? Will we actually see a viable third party with a real political agenda in the future, or more of the same? Where are the "Greens" when you actually need them as a political force?... Stuck in Germany and on the high seas, heading off Japanese whalers, I guess. That is certainly more fun than dealing with lobbyists in Washington D.C., I would think.
I have been involved in over 10 big privatizations of public "utilities" in Europe, North America, and Latin America. In each case, creating a fungible market for the NewCo's stock has been critical in its downstream success. What would the shareholder buy into?
If you look at your own company, are there any parts of the business that you know shareholders wouldn't buy into? Should you still be doing that "thing"?
