Hi Joel, There are absolute standards, and we should teach these standards to our children and be guided by these standards in our lives. When I am seeking solutions, I stay away from debating the standards. For example, the international client I am working on behalf of here in Yichang was basically cheated by the ex-manager of the local Chinese partner entity on the mentioned power plant deal. The previous client team that tried to ‘negotiate’ a restructuring firstly argued about rights and wrongs. Well, it turned out that the client’s own team had done wrongs during the initial establishment of the deal. I come into the picture, restructured the deal over the course of one year, and now, two years later, organize a happy divestment of the deal. I spent no time on standards, rights and wrongs. I spend time on positioning, messaging, and selling. The solution, as all my solutions, follow a familiar pattern, client must be happy, opponent must be happy, and all are happy to make me happy. The happiness must be, ideally, for that moment, and long after, so that I have happy references from both client and opponent, thus making future happiness easier to achieve. In Jerusalem, they are now debating on rights and wrongs, and they have been doing so for many life times. Should they continue, for many more life times? Never a solution, until the lessons of Carthage is re-taught, and it is not clear to me what the outcome of the teaching will be. Maybe I am too pragmatic or too idealistic, but I think it is difficult to simultaneously accuse me of concurrently being both:0) Chugs, Jay
