YOU --NOT THE BUDGET--SET THE SPENDING THERMOSTAT FOR YOUR COMPANY
It is the rare CEO who treats his budget and expense account exactly as she or he would a budget at home. Most of you remember the thrill of your first company car or the initial first class flight with the sense of undeserved abundance or well earned perk. But it quickly becomes second nature and money is easily spent without the kind of twinge that happens when you do personal spending. The comfort and ease become habitual. The bottles of wine become better quality. The meeting sites get more luxurious. Everyone gets unspoken permission for spending creep.
It's repugnant to police people. Especially peers. Don't. This is the supreme walk the talk moment. How you spend, the company spends. How you spend is shared and gossiped about. How you spend decides if you have a caste or class based company.
Simply assume there is a YouTube video watching you spend company money.
What would you immediately do differently?
