The early Procter & Gamble business demonstrated something true in business, that a successful business rewards its workers with increasing wages. Why? Because when you’ve got a good team, you increase your business by increasing that team. It is as solid and sound a principle as any in the realm of leadership. Morale is a critical element in leadership.
Now, we have a situation in which wages are declining.
That is a reasonable thing if the business is facing a desperate future. All should share in making the business that gives them a job as sound as sound can be.
It means, though, that there are rough times ahead. Roberts just enabled Obama, gave him a major victory with both Arizona and ObamaCare, and it appears that a depression is very real. Wages and values DECLINE in a depression.
I don’t know if Romney will win; I don’t really care. I’m not one of his supporters. He is simply a politician version of a GOP-E Scotus justice. He’ll turn on us whenever it’s to his benefit. They all do.
So, quit trusting in parties. Find something/someone bigger than that to lean on. It is the only way to peace and stability in life.
I’d always understood it was Henry Ford who wanted his workers to make enough money to buy the cars they made. Every coin still has the answer stamped on it in this great country, “In God We Trust.” Without that unifying principle, there are indeed rough times ahead.
