Business is excited at the prospect of lower taxes and softer regulation promised by the president, who gave no indication on Friday that such pledges were on the backburner.
President Donald Trump’s inaugural speech and first few executive actions in office gave no quarter to those who believed that he would prioritize unification of the country over politics once he got the key to the Oval Office.
CEOs have a critical role to play in reordering politics, fixing the parties, returning to the public square and working in the interest not only of business, but of the country at large.
Business groups have welcomed the passing in the House of Representatives of a sweeping regulatory reform bill that would make it harder for federal agencies to create and enforce new rules.
Regulatory overreach is a constant bone of contention for CEOs.
Over the past decade, the pace of change has accelerated through technology, and we’ve developed a much deeper understanding of what drives human behaviors and business success. But these new realities have not been fully translated into how leaders run their companies.
Since he started on the campaign trail in 2015, Donald Trump has made one of his primary goals to bring back manufacturing jobs from China. Now the president-elect is eyeing tariffs on Chinese imports and proposing initiatives to boost American manufacturing.
Any CEOs hopeful that Donald Trump’s election will herald a golden age of strong economic growth may want to have a chat with their CFO.
CEOs could soon have a lot less staff to manage, whether they like it or not.
A non-profit think tank filled with CEOs has called on the incoming Trump administration to encourage investment in infrastructure and R&D to remedy what it calls a damaging short-term focus by lawmakers and business leaders.
