		<description><![CDATA[In my previous post on this subject I suggested lessons from the Egyptian revolution to the world of corporate leadership. Now I do the reverse.

I would like to address the ruling military officers of Egypt and the other leaders who are now finding themselves in the midst of turmoil in the Middle East. They all are confronted with the problem of "managing large scale change." This is not a new thing. Many companies and countries have been through this before. So... here is an open letter to the Generals of Egypt, and to all others to whom it may apply. <a href="http://www.lmmiller.com/blog/2011/02/19/general/beyond-tahrir-square-managing-large-scale-change/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is one principle of our democratic republic that has been betrayed. It is the principle of compromise. When compromise becomes a forbidden word, a sign of disloyalty to a party or particular interest group, achieving the consensus necessary to govern becomes impossible. Those who reject compromise and reason in favor of rigid adherence to party dogmatism are the American equivalent of radical Islam. <a href="http://www.lmmiller.com/blog/2010/09/26/corporate-culture/the-principle-of-compromise/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The child like and pseudo religious belief that the free market will, by itself, right all wrongs in time, a belief adhered to by Alan Greenspan and other groupies of Ayn Rand, is at the heart of our financial crisis and the crisis of capitalism. This Greek tragedy was played out at Enron, Lehman Brothers, and now Goldman Sachs and BP. The question is whether corporate executives are capable of adhering to principled behavior in the absence of punishment of significant severity to balance out the significance of potential rewards for unprincipled behavior.  <a href="http://www.lmmiller.com/blog/2010/06/13/corporate-culture/goldman-sachs-and-the-need-for-hangings-in-the-village-square/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is in part the result of political/ideological waste. Lean management focuses on the elimination of waste from manufacturing and other processes. Lean managers develop a keen sense for what adds value and everything else is waste. There is some mass schizophrenia when it comes to the role of government and the private sector. This madness is a complete waste of resources and is itself responsible for many of our problems. It is past time to get beyond this madness. <a href="http://www.lmmiller.com/blog/2010/06/06/the-new-capitalism/lean-politics-give-up-ideological-waste/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
