It is my belief that there are two things that will define a person's character - 1. how they deal with adversity and 2 how they deal with positions of power (if given the opportunity). In most cases once people obtain some position of power it tends to change them for the worse because they try to abuse it and get more power. Politicians for instance.PT Bohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10101195261695989996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889986006783300070.post-30103882551701898232012-05-19T17:21:32.138-07:002012-05-19T17:21:32.138-07:00Hi Patrick,
You seem to have an endless supply of...Hi Patrick,<br /><br />You seem to have an endless supply of thought-provoking topics. I’m always scratching my head for something new to say.<br /><br />I’m not entirely sure that I understand how circular organizations would work (I bow to your expertise on that), but it sounds like you’re saying that a successful/efficient organization puts all of its focus on the consumer. We know that when private entities do so, they flourish, and when they don’t they flounder. We also know that the government has no direct relationship to the consumer, and I think this is by design. Liberals – the busy bees behind all gov’t bureaucracy – are instinctively driven to separate consumers from things that are purportedly done to service them. Plus they have a monopoly. That makes the consumer – i.e. the taxpayer – powerless, and that’s how they like it. <br /><br />You asked: “Why don’t businesses and government entities organize themselves in a circular fashion?”<br /><br />I believe it’s all about power. Who wouldn’t love to be free from accountability yet still enjoy the benefits of employment?CWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18093393578438689105noreply@blogger.com
