Business Explained by Stever

“Business Explained” is Stever Robbins’s BLOG. The goal? To look at current events in business, news, and media from the executive and business viewpoint. With luck, we’ll seek out the Deep Truths that lie within. Or at least Shallow Truths. At least we’ll challenge some of the conventional thinking and hopefully add some out-of-the-box thinking to the conversation.

I’m Stever Robbins, a rather eclectic graduate of Harvard Business School, MIT, and New England Bartender’s School. Not always in that order. My passion is helping people do great things with their lives, and I bring all kinds of tools to bear: business and leadership expertise, cognitive science, systems thinking, an absurd amount of ad hoc knowledge that probably has no statistical significance whatsoever, plus recently, exploration of spiritual matters, Shamanism, Taoism, and the like.

My opinions are often expressed strongly, though I’m willing to change my mind if you can hammer a fact or two past my defenses. I don’t consider myself liberal or conservative. I’m a political functionalist, which means I’m committed to a process of governance, rather than a particular set of positions. You can read about political functionalism here. That said, I much prefer a world where everyone is happy to a world where the economy is doing well but the people aren’t.

My professional interests—executive coaching, public speaking, and facilitation—are well-documented at my SteverRobbins.com website.

You can join me in blowing off steam at the absurdity of business, organizations, and irrational knee-jerk reactions at my Business Rants blog.
