Teams Vs. Plunderers

The technology industry is fertile ground for corporate plunderers. Of course plunderers, or people who enrich themselves at the expense of other people and the environment, can be found in any industry. The tech industry is particularly fine hunting grounds for plunderers because regulations are rarely able to keep up with the pace of technological advancement, barriers to entry are low, and investors can overvalue companies that appear promising. This combination of factors allows plunderers to make a lot of money in a hurry. A growing number of people, particularly young people, are taking a stand against organizations and individuals that plunder. The advent of social media has made it harder for plunderers to hide their transgression and easier for people with morals to organize protests and boycotts. Many corporate leaders recognize that they need to be more socially and environmentally responsible. They need ethical teams. Ethical teams create value for all impacted parties. They take on audacious goals and relentlessly search outside of the traditional methods of operation for innovative solutions that satisfy everyone's needs, except the plunderers. This book draws upon the author's unique experience at six tech companies, including: Three rough-and-tumble startups (one was 3rd fastest-growing U.S. company). A company whose CEO went to prison for shipping bricks. A large company in which Ed led teams that turned around two businesses. This book explains how plunderers operate, how they reach the highest levels in corporate America, how to deal with them, and most important, how to incorporate ethical teams that build businesses that satisfy all impacted parties.
