The goals I am less concerned with, as we should always aim high. What concerns me more is the implementation of the goals and the responsibility and accountability on any of them. As with any organization, I am not too sure if it’s always a matter of how many goals there are but of how such goals are initiation and follow through. <BR/><BR/>Your solution of two organizations may not correct the problems if the entity itself is mismanaged, misguided and misappropriated. I am sure that Greenspan, for example, did a lot of good, but the fact that we are now here in this financial global crisis makes one wonder how effective he really was for all of those years and if, in fact, there should new blood in leadership after a while. <BR/><BR/>I remember watching Greenspan many years ago and thinking “he’s like a god." He had such power and was so revered. People seemed to worship him. Perhaps such a position should never be to that extent. The same holds true for bankers who have been so exalted because we believed that they held our lives in their very hands. <BR/><BR/>This is the arrogance that we see so clearly in these Wall Street banks, as if they are not depended on the shuffling of our paper, our money for their very existence. Whenever or wherever in any organization or government there is this sense, abuses are more than likely to abound.Judith Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593319882150923231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7209091428880958270.post-38262364893366116712009-02-21T06:14:00.000-05:002009-02-21T06:14:00.000-05:00These goals to see extraordinallyambitious.
