BTTT.
“Personnel is Policy” says a lot to me. It would be interesting to know how many boards of how many corporations certain persons occupy.
I knew a fellow years ago that was a VP of a specific company, and sat on the board of 62 other companies involved in the conglomerate he was employed. One of those companies is a huge International nuclear engineering company.
I looked for his name in a search pre Google say 12 years ago, but found nothing about him. I looked up the corporation, his name, etc., but found nothing. I am not going to try again today as he’s probably dead by now, and he wasn’t an extraordinary sort of guy, just one “H” of a “yes man”, a “Personnel is Policy” man.
My point: Wondering in the Corporate climate of today how many of these “Personnel is Policy” types can be found sitting on as many corporations as my acquaintance of the seventies was.
I’m especially curious as IIRC I believe I read about many such “Personnel is Policy” types being influenced into corporate positions they didn’t earn by former President Clinton.
Being on dial up, and apparently as the XP system I currently have isn’t supported anymore, and slower than “H” I don’t get involved currently in searching out these things, so ask anybody with experience if they could take a peek around, and see if they can come up with a list of names that seem to pop up associated with multiple major corporations be they International as was my acquaintance, or otherwise. Would be interesting to see who they are, and try to understand where they fit in the overall scheme of things.
