RISK MANAGEMENT
Why smart companies make incredibly dumb decisions
“If you’re still wondering what inflated the dot-com bubble, inflamed the financial crisis and ignited a series of recent corporate disasters, the answer is staring you in the face: It’s the stupidity, stupid.
Failure to step back and question flawed assumptions and established working practices condemned Internet startups, international banks and parts of the world economy to oblivion at worst, or at best, years of painful rehabilitation.”….
Stupidity, yes. However not the whole picture. Let’s backtrack shall we, just a bit. First off, we have a whole slew of people coming out of Universities with FAST TRACKED MBA’s. Add a dash of financials, a sprinkle of accounting and a liberal dose of whoever came up with the job descriptions instructions from Upper Echelons of Power and you cannot but be amused by the results.
Whoever thought it was going to turn out better than it did must be from Pluto. Way out there man. Okay, have your puff of 420 now, that should calm you down to take in the rest.
I’ll say it again, but not indefinitely. It’s all about NRGY. You don’t get those fundamentals right and no matter who you hire, when you hire and why you hire, fancy words, Post-it Ph. D.’s on the walls and a sense of having finally made it to the big leagues ain’t gonna erase the B.S. culture of a sell at all costs scarcity mentality because everything is in precious demand.
The general attitude is that more is good, envy great and greed the King of the Hill. Micheal Douglas personas glamorized to the nth degree. It happened on Wall Street financials, it happened in all thing Mortgages and it’s happening in all things NRGY.
We’re on a spin cycle not learning. And as long as we continue to buy into it – everyday people’s concern, retirement money and health, we’ll be sucked into repeating the same over and over. Cows in stalls being milked for all their worth and then discarded. Who cares, there are more immigrants and slaves on their way.
For the few who opt out, being voyeurs and not falling for the conniving schemes of the latest greatest are just good head shaking events.
And it’s simple, put someone on a high pedestal with all the fancy credentials and people are like lemmings. They don’t learn. All hypnotized by big $$$$$$ signs. They forget the adage that someone must lose if someone profits and think they’re immunized.
Whether you’re a consumer or company, the mortal forces that be want you to remain in your place. Social Engineering mechanism is extremely subtle and pervasive. Unless you can connect the dots to form a complete picture, you’re a perpetual prisoner of the system.
Dance of Life & NRGY. Step onto an LIFE & NRGY Spiral and get off that stupid death Spin Cycle – DUH !
