Hello Mr. President and Staff, Hope all is well and apologies for the extra email after I just sent one recently. I wanted to write as something struck me this morning about how possibly to reform our economy and our huge institutions: new measures of success.
To me we have allowed various institutions to dictate very myopic measurements of industry and in fact have even recently considered to apply a myopic measurement to our public education system (test scores). This is foolhardy just as only measuring profit and loss and/or VaR numbers - our world is too complex.
Being a sports fan one knows the true measures that matter are leadership, morale, team work, and many other intangibles. I believe we can begin to get to these types of metrics using a comprehensive survey system (surveying employees, shareholders, customers). Down the road it is my belief that we can further streamline this and perhaps put our industries on firm footing for the long term. Please let me know if you would like to discuss this further.
