#154 — Domestic Policy

Podcast: Play in new window | Download



You have to pity the modern American business leaders. Right in the middle of the economic equivalent of the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 they have to spend all day, every day focusing on their core competencies to design customer-centric win-win solutions while going forward to grab the low-hanging fruit by producing a value-added, scalable, proactive ball-park figure. At the same time, they have to shift paradigms by the truckload!

The one weapon they have in their arsenal is the amazing power of the Corporate Policy.

In a lot of ways, corporate policies are like magic spells. Both are complex and written in a language that most people don’t comprehend; both require years of study before they’re fully understood; and, if handled carelessly, both of them can turn on the person trying to use them.

Really.
