Grant (Partner, Project Development & Finance Group, Shearman & Sterling) written by Melissa J. Anderson (New York City) for The Glass Hammer, an online community designed for women executives in financial services, law and business. Here is an excerpt from a profile of Denise M.
Finally, it has forced me to think about and clearly articulate answers to the excellent questions that Maddy had developed. To explain this concept, Sinek has developed what he calls the “Golden Circle,”. 1) When developing, maintaining and growing my business, I have focused heavily on the ‘why’.

Hershman and Dr. Michael Hammer. The modern corporation that has evolved as a result consists of many specialized functional departments, such as sales, engineering, marketing, manufacturing, operations, and finance. Hershman is the Chief Executive Officer of Hammer and Company. About the Authors.
Government is like a sledge hammer. It all started with the "I Want You to Want Me" song that I first heard blaring at a gas station in South Carolina while on vacation. It is only good at one thing, and the use of a sledgehammer is obvious.
Our survey, in fact, showed that early AI adopters have primarily bought the right fit-for-purpose technology solutions, with only a minority of respondents both developing and implementing all AI solutions in-house. Resist the temptation to put technology teams solely in charge of AI initiatives.
The problem, I realized, was that the US company’s strategy of constant new product development was not aligned with what motivated our salespeople.

LTCM was founded, in 1994, by some of the best minds in finance theory, including two Nobel Prize winners. If all you have is a hammer, then everything will look like a nail.
Or you could participate in projects financed in part by conventional investors and in part by non-profits. It will get harder and harder for mainstream investors to not develop some strategies in this area. Secondly, it’s about combining philanthropic and financial investors. We don’t want to go there.
Select one (or at the most two), and hammer away at it with all your ability. We take a look at ourselves and see so many areas for improvement that we are tempted to attack them all at once.
