With the election of Donald Trump as our next president, American companies are destined to face a major shakeup in their corporate governance. Mr. Trump’s campaign promise of reducing the U.S. taxes that corporations are required to pay to 15 percent from 35 percent and granting a tax break to repatriate the trillions of dollars of profit earned from overseas sales and housed in kinder jurisdictions to avoid U.S. taxes, seem to be preordained. This is an opportunity for U.S. corporations to modify their corporate governance to meet changing demands for their success and for the good of the country in which they are incorporated and do business.

What keeps us from getting to where we want to be or what we want to do? Sure, it may be a lack of the right skills, bad luck, having other goals or just being plain lazy. More likely, however, the answer is elsewhere and much closer to home. We can call them “everyday” attitudes that are so much apart of us we don’t know the damage they’re doing.
