The Flood spare no time.

"You have taken back your rights and what we have begun can not go back.... We have one main demand: the end of the regime and the beginning of a new stage, a new Egypt.... I bow to the people of Egypt in respect. I ask of you patience, change is coming in the next few days." This is the speech of Mr. Hosni Mubarak to Protesters. " Bowing to the peoples of Egypt in respect" why so much preassure, why so much frustration. Whether all this was unexpected at all, completely ignoring the power of masses or trusting, enormous trust at "system" that is "leading" the masses?

Power and sensitivity of powerless

You can not stop the water, it is making own ways or it burst and wipe out every thing. Similarly injustice, use of immense power, denying the rights, very basic rights can not work for a long time. The world is changing rapidly. The minds are changing. It is different era different in many aspects. How the Leaders, the Dictators are leading their countries? Is it possible that you ignored the power of masses or you can invent new ways to stop them? Nay it is not possible at all, though your ways(more precisely the systems) were more sophisticated and took long time and efforts possibly to invent them, but now it seems those are not going to be work. The water is making its own ways. The power elite is always blind sided, can not foresee. Indeed it is misfortune.

Which CEO Characteristics and Abilities Matter?

Steven N. Kaplan, Mark M. Klebanov, and Morten Sorensen* Abstract We exploit a unique dataset to study individual characteristics of CEO candidates for companies involved in buyout and venture capital transactions and relate these characteristics to subsequent corporate performance. CEO candidates vary along two primary dimensions: one that captures general ability and another that contrasts communication and interpersonal skills with execution skills. Subsequent performance is positively related to general ability and to execution skills. The findings expand our view of CEO characteristics and types relative to previous studies.
