If Farouk does not like the message, he'll fire the messanger.<br /><br />Farouk’s management philosophy includes<br />• “I conceived it, thus it’s done”, i.e. making a decision tonight and fully expecting it to be implemented before he even talks to anyone – it works in a small entrepreneurial organization where he has the total control and it is his own money – However, how would it work in our democratic form of government?<br />• In his culture (and business practice) – “cousins” (anyone with Middle Eastern heritage) make no mistakes and family “walks on water” , i.e. the actual professional qualifications are secondary in his mindAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-81828354641859906682010-02-05T19:55:00.681-06:002010-02-05T19:55:00.681-06:00Hal,I never heard of Dr. Shami until a month or so...Hal,I never heard of Dr. Shami until a month or so ago. He has very little name recognition VS Bill White, the Hero to Thousands of Louisiana Katrina refuges. That is the difference between night and day. I suggest if Dr. Shami likes politics then he had better start at the local level where we need to build leaders to learn to lead locally before leading the State and then the Nation. <br /><br />Doctor put your ego in your hip pocket for now, you are out of your class!Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004029230371635034noreply@blogger.com
