Think about it. Business & Politics have kind of been on opposite sides on many counts. • Politics is right-brained/ emotional & business is left-brained and factual. • Politics is raw and rough. Business is structured and organized. • Politics is ideology-based & business is ideology-agnostic. But increasingly, business and politics can’t seem to stay away from each other. Very visible issues today impact how businesses run, how they present themselves to the world. What we are seeing now is (a) it’s easier for the public to see where the two are mixing, and (b) that visibility is making it apparent that businesses can longer get away from being shallow in living up to the purpose.
