HI Everyone,
Why are the banks not lending now that things are better?
One of the greatest bottlenecks and frustrations in the
economy now is the banks not lending. A Congressman from
IL states companies in his state with orders on their books
cannot get funding to produce the products to fill the order!
This is nuts!
The issue is, why?
What has scared them into holding onto all the capital they
have and lending much less than before? Even after they
have paid back TARP money? Why would they give up the
additional profits from lending?
The underlying reason is Obama's use of Old Power attached
to TARP funds. Obama is assuming he has the right to expand the right
of the Federal government to control banks even after they have paid back TARP funds. This would frighten any industry. Old Power always scares people into self-protective choices even if those choices are not the most profitable!
Banks are no exception. They are in survival mode like many other industries
and small businesses. Until this changes, they will not lend, which will
continue to slow/dampen our economic recovery.
Our banks are at the core of our economy. As long as they do not feel
safe to lend, the rest of us business owners and leaders won't feel
safe to expand. Trust is everything.

What You Say Is What You Get(R)--Leadership Culture, Corporate Culture and Political Leaders
HI Everyone,
So sorry for my silence, Cox employee error disabled my internet forever, they had a hard time figuring out how to fix it. Techno-nightmare. But I am back and I have things to say!!
Leadership is the cause and cure of everything! Someone told me this--very powerful.
Implications and follow-up to my latest book, From Old Power to New Power--Which Leaders Will Survive? Please see below.
Leaders face the toughest challenge ever--right now!!
What do you think about corporate leaders' awareness of the lessons from the economy?
Other than the traditional layoffs and cost-cutting, do you think leaders understand
the real meaning? What types of corporate culture are leaders building now? How well is that working?
Right now smart leaders are nervous because the ground is shifting
under their feet. Do they know why? The underlying cause of all this difficulty, with real unemployment beyond 20%? Do you? No, it's not just the greed.
It's all about how power is used--the Power Shift from Old to New Power. Old Power, my way or the highway, is under siege in the U.S., in business, in politics, at home, at work. Everywhere.
What does this mean? What is New Power? Positive collaborative, and open and inclusive. Highly skilled, not armchair psychology. The only form of leadership the best talent and Gens. X/Y will tolerate.
This creates a huge challenge for leaders steeped in Old Power, like Bob Nardelli of Home Depot and Chrysler, as Old Power leaders will harm their careers and take down companies.
Yes, Wall Street firms and GM too, all Old Power firms. In trouble if still alive.
This Power Shift affects all leaders. Whether you like it or not, it marches on.
And now it is hitting politics. Bayh stepping down. Palin stepping up. Brown winning Kennedy's longtime seat, a New Power leader in his position and process. Both traditional parties are of course Old Power. Tea Party members criticize both parties. Voters resent the back room deals and the lack of focus on jobs. Guess what this is about?
Not bi-partisanship. Not Democrats, not Republicans. It is about the Power Shift from Old to New Power. People are demanding it. From both parties. Obama is not focused on what matters most--jobs--he did so too little to late. He decided-Old Power--that the agenda was health care. Upset many, as he campaigned under a New Power image, which is why he won.
Old Power used internally in New Power countries will always cause disruption and backlash. They may not know this framework but those no longer supporting Obama
are reacting to how his administration has used power in ways that has not helped.
Specifics? Stay tuned....more coming on leadership power, culture and style.
Best,
Dr Linne
