politicians and ceo's...
After watching closely the race for the republican candidate who would contest against obama,I have come to a conclusion that politicians are the same all across the world. They pander to their core vote base. Every republican candidate is trying to wear the conservative cap, with santorum taking a position on the extreme right. I am sure whomsoever ends up in government, would change his/her colour to accustom to reality.
India is not any different. The BJP,despite its appeal to the right, knows that once in government,it has to take a centrist position to manage this country. The congress despite its intent to appeal to the minority knows fully well that it cannot antogonize the majority.
It is always a tight rope walk for these guys. I have always wondered, is a CEO very different. Yes, he is not democratically elected, but he is always bound by the limitations of the people who populate the organization. He like a politician does a tight rope walk keeping in mind the investors apetite for greater profits, the employees craving for increased salaries and benefits, a more conscious and informed customer who wants more from less. But yes, like any other organism, the organization, be it political or corporate, that adapts itself to change is the one that survives..if one thinks a bit, this is true for religions as well..isn't it..the same first principles..
