I would propose there to be one more element: passion for mission. And how to measure or determine passion? While action (lots of experience or knowledge about the mission is an indicator of passion, I pose that the candidate's understanding of the…

Less than a decade ago, before the dramatic and sadly increasing disparity between "the haves" and "the have-nots" (now an issue in the presidential campaign), luxury brands typically dispersed their giving to a wide range of nonprofits: culture, education, health and a range of social service organizations all doing good in many creative and altruistic ways. The luxury brands that gave, a generous percentage of their marketing budgets did little to promote (many thought “tout”) their good…

"She was their landlord and she raised the rent," he said. "There's nothing illegal about that." This is the attorney's response for his client facing federal prosecution for stealing or misappropriating federal dollars. Not illegal? Not a violation of the fiduciary duty of care (self-dealing and conflict of interest)? I beg to strongly differ that, the list of harm the accused has done against her health…
