The Future Ain't What It Used To EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Future Ain’t What It Used to Be: Delight & Despair over Disruption The New York Public Library | June 7 - 8, 2016 PRESENTING SPONSORS KEY THEMES SUMMARY Yale CEO Summit June 7-8, 2016 | The New York Public Library The Future Ain’t What It Used to Be: Delight & Despair over Disruption The Yale CEO Summit, led by Yale Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, was held on June 7 and 8, 2016 at the New York Public Library in New York City. This Summit brought together CEOs and other business executives; current and former government officials, including the Secretary of Health and Human Services; and mayors of more than a dozen U.S. cities. Also attending were leading academics, authors, and thought leaders. Participants examined the theme “The Future Ain’t What It Used to Be: Delight & Despair over Disruption.” Sessions looked at whether disruption in politics is good, at disruptions in health care, disruptions in diplomacy and economic policy, disruptions in regulation, and startup disruptions in media and retail. Legendary entrepreneur and business leader Zhang Ruimin, the CEO of Haier Group, was honored with the Legend in Leadership Award and renowned investor Alan J. Patricof was presented the Maverick in Leadership Award. Participants included renowned leaders such as: George S. Barrett, Chairman & CEO, Cardinal Health Peter Orszag, Vice Chair, Lazard; Former Director, Office of Management Richard J. Berry, Mayor, Albuquerque, New Mexico and Budget Byron W. Brown, Mayor, Buffalo, New York Alan J. Patricof, Founder & Managing Partner, Greycroft Partners Sylvia Mathews Burwell, 22nd Secretary, U.S. Department of Health & Mark Penn, President, Stagwell Group; Former Top Clinton Campaign Strategist Human Services Jed S.

But most business leaders aren’t buying it. In a recent poll of Fortune 500 CEOs, 58% support Hillary Clinton over Trump, and at the most recent Yale CELI Caucus in Washington DC, only 6% favored Trump (other candidates were still in the race at that time). A leading finan- cier explained that the business community wants predictability. Hill- ary Clinton is seen as more predictable; Donald Trump is extremely unpredictable. A Yale professor argued that America’s constitutional system has lasted, while attempts to replicate this model in other countries have failed, because almost always, the United States has had a strong political middle. But the future of this political middle is uncertain. © 2016 Chief Executive Leadership Institute. All rights reserved. 2 Created by BullsEye Resources, www.bullseyeresources.com.

  • Biden's Healthcare Influencers
    September 9, 2020 Biden’s Healthcare Influencers What's Happening: With the close of Labor Day weekend and the unofficial end of summer, the Biden campaign is taking off in earnest. Healthcare continues to be a significant part of the overall campaign platform, both in how it relates to the coronavirus pandemic and in other more traditional health policy arenas such as prescription drug prices and health insurance. While the messaging out of the campaign is more focused on the day-to-day challenges of the pandemic and anti- Trump rhetoric, when the campaign pushes beyond the surface level discussions, health policy and the actions a Biden administration would take are top of mind for both staffers and voters. Why It Matters: The cliché exists for a reason: personnel is policy. With the Democratic Party focused on healthcare and the legacy of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) as one of its signature issues, working on these policies for a Democratic president represents major opportunities to advance long-held goals and the ability to move the party in a certain direction as there are still big intraparty disputes on the future of healthcare, particularly the Medicare-for-All debate. When reviewing the candidates for the top healthcare positions in a Biden administration, it is important to remember that just because some potential senior staff members have worked for industry, that does not mean that they would not then carry out policies that would have a negative impact on that same industry. In fact, to a long-time policy maker like Biden, their experience in the private sector means that they could understand the workings of industry that much more.

Subjects: Series & special reports; Public opinion surveys; Policy making; Presidency Author: Harris, John F Date: Dec 31, 2000 Start Page: A.01 Section: A SECTION One night a week, a select group of White House aides and Cabinet members would file into the Yellow Oval Room in the White House residence. And Bill Clinton, the most polished and talkative politician of his era, for once would let someone else do the talking: a disheveled man who even friends say was ill at ease except when the conversation turned to numbers. The man was Clinton's pollster. The weekly residence meeting was the place where this president got his fix of the data that drove a presidency. As Clinton prepares to leave office 20 days from now, even his sharpest critics bow to his mastery of politics. This was a president who understood his times and became the dominant voice of them, who faced every conceivable adversity yet managed still to survive and prosper. What is less understood is that Clinton's political gifts were more than the magic of personality. They were a set of precise techniques that relied on constant gauging of public opinion, and constant responses to it in ways large and small. So Clinton's legacy is in many ways a story about polls.

No need for journal write up on content of midterm case session and the last session. One take-home final due last session. Welcome to the elective course in Power & Politics! Course Theme Politics is not a dirty word! We just got to learn how to play good politics and keep out bad politics. By the same logic, power by itself does not necessarily corrupt though absolute power may corrupt absolutely. In other words, this course is about how to conquer the world, or at least survive the corporate jungle, without losing our soul. Even if you don’t want to play politics, good or bad, you still need the skills from this course to ensure that you don’t become a victim of politics. Course Objectives • Understanding what power is: People often have a misperception of what power, the basis of political behavior, really means. By the end of this course you should be able to have not only a conceptual understanding of what power is within an organizational context but a practical grasp of what the actual sources of power are.
