  The Need For Freedom

  Despite huge improvements in human living standards having taken place over the decades, extreme poverty still persists - and the Covid-19 pandemic hasn't helped. Research has found that economic growth is far and away the best reducer of poverty; naturally, the question should be asked, what set of policies is best suited to stimulate economic growth, and thus reduce poverty? The answer proposed in this book is simple: economic liberalism: the philosophy of free trade, secure property rights, business freedom, investment freedom, monetary stability, and limited state ownership of industries. Economic liberalism is yet to reach the world's poorest people and entrepreneurs; while citizens of the rich world enjoy the fruits which competitive marketplaces provide, the poor live under the regulatory clutches of intrusive bureaucracies. Case studies consistently demonstrate that liberalising markets is the best way to support economic growth. Public investment into supporting human infrastructure is definitely necessary as well. However, policymakers should focus especially on improving the efficiency of public services, which requires more than just increasing budgets. The link between foreign aid and economic development is empirically inconclusive.

  Find out how bold actions by visionary leaders can inspire powerful stories that drive culture change. 
   
  Data indicates that most strategic efforts to change a company's culture fail. So how do companies succeed in this endeavor? 
   
  A top strategy professor and two highly successful CEOs found that, in companies that had successfully changed their culture, leaders had taken dramatic actions that embodied the new cultural values. These actions inspired stories that became company legends, repeated in every department and handed on to new employees. 
   
  Through compiling and analyzing 150 stories from business leaders who have achieved change, they identified 6 attributes that every successful culture change story has in common: 
   
  1.	The actions are authentic 
  2.	They revolve around the CEO 
  3.	They signal a clean break with the past, and a clear path to the future 
  4.	They appeal to employee heads and hearts 
  5.	They're often theatrical or dramatic 
  6.	They're told, and re-told, throughout the organization 
   
  With extensive and inspiring examples of stories containing these attributes, the authors illustrate how readers can harness the power of stories within their company in order to change or create a winning culture to align with any strategy.

  Why Businesses Fail? S01E02

  What is the role of the Government in the success (or failure) of a business? Answering this question can take many avatars, and one can be bombarded with multiple perspectives and opinions. But there are two follow up questions that can help set a direction towards an insightful discussion. Those questions are:
  a. Should Governments be in the business of running a business?
  b. Does government policy influence business, or does business influence government policies?
  In this episode of Why Businesses Fail, we lean towards the first question. There was once an era when Public Sector companies in India dominated Television manufacturing. Brands like Uptron, Konark and Crown were household names in the 1980s. Within a decade, these brands virtually disappeared. What caused this implosion of the brands? Was it market transformation, changing customer preferences, or the inability of the companies to innovate and take risks, often due to regulatory shackles?
  We also look at some other industries in India such as airlines, and information technology in this episode. The latter is a classic example that not every government policy or regulation is bad. In policies such as STPI or Software Technologies Parks of India have helped the technology sector. We leave the following question UN-answered for a reason - can Governments play a role in the failure of a business?

  The inspiring true story of how a small group of dedicated leaders achieved radical and relentless change to save McLean, Harvard’s historic psychiatric hospital
   
  Lloyd I. Sederer, MD, recounts the unfettered story of how McLean survived impending closure or sale to once again prosper and regain its international stature as the hospital where you would want a loved one to be treated for a psychiatric or substance use disorder.
      Only growth and innovation can reverse an institutional fiscal crisis. Dr. Sederer describes how, over six years of hemorrhaging money, McLean eluded the now pervasive corporatization of American healthcare and was clinically and financially rebuilt despite the odds, all while serving with integrity and soul more patients than ever before. 
      Caught in the Crosshairs of American Healthcare offers leaders and aspiring leaders in healthcare and other complex organizations a candid look behind the curtain of McLean’s transformation into a hospital open to all, no longer only the rich and famous. Dr. Sederer also finely details
  
  • the corporatization of medicine putting profits before patients,
  • endless insurance hurdles, 
  • how to prove clinical improvements, and 
  • our broken and inequitable health and mental health systems of care.
  
      Caught in the Crosshairs of American Healthcare shows that with grit, brains, and support, we can still change our world.
