Being president is very similar to running a business, only larger with a whole lot more shareholders to whom to answer. When running a company, every legal shareholder has the option of casting a vote for any issues brought before them making a change in the way the company operates, including the chief executive officer chosen by the company’s board of directors, to run the company.
A businessman, experienced in how business operates would run the country like a business and not like a brotherhood of favoritism, beholden to certain individuals or group that helped him get elected. There are many aspects of running a country that are synonymous with running a business, and many lifelong politicians do that have that knowledge or experience. Being flexible and malleable to the changes in the company’s thinking will help a business leader guide the company to meet it goals.
In many cases, the day following an election finds the professional politician already looking at ways to be re-elected. Often hiding behind the slowness with which government typically moves, as the reason the promises made during the elect remain unkept. In business, when a change is mandated it is expected to be made throughout the company immediately, with no exceptions and no excuses.
Having a businessman in office whose sole purpose to improve performance and productivity while reducing expenses and returning profits to the shareholders may not be what many special interest groups would like to see. However, running America as a viable business can make it stronger and more competitive in the global market.
