Actors in Management: My World View

Sometimes, I feel my worldview is royally unique. It could be brilliantly effective, or a huge, misguided utopian failure.

I am an actress who looks at the world as a stage. Where do our motivations come from? Why do we gather together in search of spectacle? Uniqueness? Unity? Why do we strive for the best performance, in whatever arena we are in (business, sciences, military, sales)? Its about putting on the best act, the best show, to please the client, to improve their lives, and maybe get something out of it yourself.

At the same time, I'm obsessed with business, marketing, networking, organization. I like to create projects, initiatives, get funding for them, create value in them, oversee them, and then pass them on. (Ivy EME, theater, Afghan Sister School, even now with a new entrepreneurial venture I'm developing in the field of headhunting). The interaction. The creation of value. The all holy thing we call capitalism. Hell, creating capitalism! (Why else am I fascinated by Kosovo and the business climate of the developing world?)

Its all the same. Its about putting the right actors in the right business to get good performance ratings, and put on a hell of a good marketing campaign--a spectacle if you will.

Ultimately, even the vocabulary is the same.

Now, how to get this business going would be fabulous.....

Hopefully I'm not sounding too idealist. But I sold you? Right? ;)

Now to say that to myself.
