Chapter 7: Know the Beast: Beware Politicians, Brokers and the Media
“Alignment” is a word popular in management consulting circles.
Roughly, it means that the goals and rewards sought by different parts
of the same organization have to fit together to produce a whole, consistent
outcome. When the organization’s pieces aren’t aligned trouble
follows. You should know, as a savvy saver and investor, with whom your
interests are aligned. These tend to be people seeking the same goals
you are, often family and friends. It is even more important to know whose
goals are not consistent with yours. We list a few of the latter here
and discuss why they are out of alignment.
