Michael Stuart Kelly Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Allison Stepping Down at CatoThis is interesting.As OL is part of the O-Land subculture, I know someone around here will wonder if this is a signal that the honeymoon between ortho-Objectivism and libertarianism is near the end of its course.(Well, I guess I'm the one who just said it... )Big moves in the libertarian universe.by David WeigelMarch 30, 2015Bloomberg PoliticsFrom the article:The libertarian Cato Institute, a think tank started in 1974 by the money of Charles Koch, is parting with its president and CEO of just two and a half years. John Allison, the former BB&T banker who took over Cato in a much-watched power struggle between donors and scholars, will retire, the think tank said Monday; Peter Goettler, a former managing director at Barclays Capital, will replace him. I just had a quirky thought as I was preparing this material to post.People always talk about the influence of the Koch brothers at Cato.However, Allison was a banker. Goettler is a banker...Hmmmmmm...Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlhall Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Are there any finance-industry folks here who can get the text of Mr. Goettler's talks “Building Universal Banking Product Lines Organically – Investment Banking Case Study” or “Managing Culture Between Universal Banking Business Units – Competitive Advantage or Achilles Heel” ?In my opinion, Mr. Goettler has show great acumen at keeping his ideas private. Maybe there's something in these talks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syrakusos Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The greatest baseball players do not make the greatest coaches or managers. Some greats do transition, of course, yes, but ultimately, being a great performer is wholly different from being a great leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
