On the positive side, someone who believes in giving back to society is likely to enjoy a far more successful career in the not - for - profit or public sectors, a person with strong family values may prefer a job which allows them time flexibility, whilst an individual who values structure and clarity is more likely to flourish in the closely defined
hierarchy of a large public company than in the multi-tasked, frantic environment typical of many start ups and small businesses.
In this environment,
large public companies almost inevitably appear as
hierarchies based on the absolute power
of the Board
of Directors, driven by the ethos
of short - term gain for executives and corporate shareholders.
