4- Business Is Not About Love And Loyalty
Believe me, guys at the top don’t like hearing that you love the company and that you love their loyalty to you. The suspicion is you are either manipulating to curry favor with your bosses, or you are very naive and don’t really understand what the object of your employment is.
Profitability of the company is above your love and loyalty to the company. The company loves you and is loyal to you to the degree that you ensure that the company is profitable.
Really, it can’t be any other way. A capitalist system is built on enlightened self interest. Making more products and services that customers and clients want is an honest system if understood. Making a reasonable profit creates more products and services in the most efficient manner possible. More capital is created, more wealth is created. Beyond that, it’s dicey.
