IMF Chief & Arnold: One kind of a man & another kind of leader?

Welcome to TishTrek - THE JOB BLOG

“I'm one of those that believes you can't be one kind of a man and another kind of president.” - Dr. Phil McGraw.

I've been recruiting for over two decades and I know for a fact that what Dr. Phil believes is spot on CORRECT! Leader Behaviors have to drive every part of your life or you will fail as soon as your own actions have the opportunity to trip you up!

If you don't believe me, just ask the likes of Tiger Woods, Eliot Spitzer, Bill Clinton, Jim McGreevey, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dominque Strauss-Kahn, Mark Sanders, John Edwards, Brett Favre, Ben Roethlisberger... Shall we continue? You can agree with their policies, politics or game, but what kind of leader shames their own children in ways that make the lives their parents created for them unrecognizable?

How many more people with high potential and/or champions with fantastic skills, competencies, credentials and experience will destroy their careers, their families and/or themselves before you and I die? The numbers will always be too big to count or predict or forecast...

I dedicate this blog post to 'all' the children of IMF Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and all the other sad sacks mentioned above... When your own children get to understand the definition of 'HERO' in the dictionary, your faces will not be there.

Yes, yes, yes... Your name is on that fat checking account, the cars are cool, perks excellent, the wedding surprises were simply wonderful; and thanks for that education @ Columbia University! But one day, your kids will wake up and realize that they could have achieved all those things on their own with hard work, a good credit score and a neighborhood banker who they could have trusted with their future more than you.

When you die, they'll wonder all the days that they live, how you could live so many lies so freely and for so long? They'll wonder if anything you did for them was real. They'll wonder why you did this to them and their other parent when divorce and/or staying single was always 'a choice' and/or 'option' you had before you hid in the clandestine corridors in towns where they wept when your hidden behaviors became public knowledge; and when the embarrassment and media circus they could never have imagined or been prepared for played out.

"They live like frosty snowmen, so many heroes melt away...
Forgetting the scarves and the corncob pipes that they got on Christmas Day." Author - TishTrek, 1980

Subject: Define DIGNITY: Is it that secret underground passage between Tuileries and Elysee?


Dear Editor,

Hand-cuffs off the "indecent repeat behavior" of Dominique Strauss-Kahn? In the article, "French Urges Restraint from Media, Politicians" (WSJ 5/18), President Nicolas Sarkozy demands that we "display a sense of dignity and decency" while reporting on a powerful moneyman with the global nickname "hot rabbit."

Message to President Sarkozy and "that woman" - Mrs. IMF, the American-born Anne Sinclair, who both defended their Chief IMF grabber & groper from Paris: Ms. Sinclair's husband's alleged sick treatment of a New York City female citizen makes you all enablers & supporters of his undignified acts which allegedly date back to 2002, so don't lecture us on 'dignity' & 'decency.'

Since he targets mostly women in that lower cast system that's alive in your mind you're all blinded to the fact that Mr. Strauss-Kahn's lecherous behavior represents exactly what he really thinks of his wife, his daughters and all women - the world over.

The U.S. doesn't care how much money he has or that he pretends to possess the qualities of a leader capable of managing an organization of 187 nations. A courageous hotel chamber maid may have just saved the International Monetary Fund the same week a U.S. housekeeper explained why a former governor of California couldn't stay focused on solutions to save his State.

Men or women lacking ethics & values exist everywhere, but they should not be running worldwide institutions which depend on business integrity, transparency and management courage to survive.

** Subject line reference: Wikipedia - Elysee Palace (which TishTrek visited in the summer of 2007) Republic, Napoléon III charged the architect Joseph-Eugène Lacroix with renovations; meanwhile he moved to the nearby Tuileries Palace, but kept the Élysée as a discreet place to meet his mistresses, moving between the two palaces through a secret underground passage that has since been demolished.[citation needed] Since Lacroix completed his work in 1867, the essential look of the Palais de l'Élysée has remained the same.
