Conservative Business Management

"When a nation's young men are conservative, its funeral bell has already rung."

Henry Ward Beecher

19th century American politician

Suggesting new thinking only comes from the liberal point of view.

How will companies run by conservative management create the change they need to evolve and grow?

(To those conservatives just joining us, see yesterday's post.)

Liberal Business Management

"A liberable man is too broad-minded to take his own side in a quarrel."

Robert Frost

20th century American poet

Suggesting liberals equivocate too much, not taking a firm stance.

That would be disastrous in business wouldn't it?

(Don't gloat conservatives, you're up next.)

Asking For It

"Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, being nothing."

Aristotle

Having acted, expect to be criticized.

Expect it but don't fear it and should you see you're not, ask yourself if you are doing enough.

Are you?
