Having been an entrepreneur all my adult life, there is an interesting truism that covers most of what we all feel is wrong today with both government and some businesses:
"If you focus all of your company's energy and expertise first on your customer's best interests, then on your employee's best interest, your ownership interest will be well served. If you screw up the order, all three will suffer."

Ray,
IMHO a problem with quite a few American corporations is that management went into the hands of financial type guys at the top that
didn't have a passion for the product like Henry Ford, Alfred P. Sloan, and Charles F. Kettering, etc. it is all about the bottom
line.
Regards,
Rob M.

I've worked in American industry for 40 years and I honestly believe we are
right where we deserve to be, getting our butts kicked by foreign competition.
American executives are greedy and short sighted....strategic plans are next
months stock price.....UGH! I'd better stop.
