Executive Suites

When people speak of executive suites, they think of a large private office, with a huge crescent table at the center, a lazy-boy, a picture window depicting a gorgeous view of the city, several paintings and potted plants, and a top-of-the-line computer. Executive is a word that adds power to the word it attaches itself to, and combine it with the word suites (which depicts a room in all its luxurious finery), then you will have an elegant, sophisticated image popping up in your mind.

There are different types of executive suites, depending on the purpose and the actual person who will be using said suite. Some suites are designed for agents, others for tenants; still others are for operators. A common misconception of executive suites is that they are only meant for people in positions of power, hence the term executive. This is not the case. Hotels, for example, offer executive suites as a room of choice. Executive suites in hotels are usually the second best rooms hotels have to offer, surpassed only by the luxurious penthouse. Executive suites are stylish and designed for having a mixed working and resting environment– with all the functionality of a workplace (internet, sockets, phones, desks, etc) and comforts of a home.

Many companies have taken building executive suites as a business, while others concentrate on brokering information and arranging real estate deals between sellers and customers.

The Executive Order 9066 of the United States is a presidential executive order that had been issued during the second world war, by the then U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The order was issued on February 19, 1942, using the president’s authority as commander-in-chief which stipulated the right to exercise war powers and sent ethnic groups to internment camps.

The order included authorization of the U.S. armed forces commanders to declare specific areas of the United States as military areas, which means any or all persons may be excluded. At the around the end of the war the total military area reached to almost 1/3 of the whole U.S. land area, with significant portions in the west. These military areas were used against those with foreign enemy ancestry. In the context of the second world war, all residents of America with Japanese, Italian and German ancestry were moved to said military areas.

This order had resulted to the Japanese American Internment, where approximately 120,000 ethnic Japanese people were kept in internment camps during the war. Of all interned Japanese, around 62% were American born, second generation Japanese American and third-generation Japanese American. The rest were Japanese immigrants and resident foreigners, or first generation Japanese Americans.

Henry L. Stimson, the secretary of war back then was assigned to assist residents of such military areas that were excluded, with transportation, shelter, food, and other forms of accommodations.

Notably, it is the Americans of Japanese ancestry that have been most affected, because all people with Japanese Ancestry were removed from the west coast and souther Arizona, even orphan infants. However, the distant state Hawaii, who housed and political reasons. Moreover, the Japanese were only vulnerable when they’re on the mainland. Granted, Germans and Italians were also included, though their restrictions were much laxer. The race issue was still a prevalent one, as Americans claim to have different methods when dealing with the three races.

The Corporate Executive Board is the world’s premier executive network, serving more than 14,000 executives, along with their staff from approximately 4,700 leading corporations and non-profit organizations worldwide. They have a diverse selection of membership programs which cover all major functional sections of the big corporate as well as middle market sectors of the world.
The mission of the corporate executive board is to provide the best practices for research, tools for supporting decisions, and most importantly authentic executive education coming from a membership coming from the some of the world’s leading corporations and non-profit organizations. Their collective research is geared towards addressing current and debatable issues related in operations, corporate strategy and management of companies as a whole.

The Corporate Executive Board is different from other executive clubs and fellowships in the sense that they offer their members what they like to call the “third path,” which remains separate from the usual traditional alternatives. This third path is meant to tap the executive’s intellect and give him access to experience a global network of peers. The third path combines the finest properties of an external management consulting model and a self-organized network to bring together a most excellent technique of finding and providing documentations for proven solutions while keeping at a low, and more importantly, fixed annual cost.

The Corporate Executive Board have also developed a business model that encompasses four unique assets that enable their members to accomplish their mandates, improve their function’s performance, and develop the working staff. With the business model, the corporate executive board pays particular attention to each of their members by helping them increase and improve their personal and professional effectiveness, along with their enterprises. These four unique assets are 1.) Unbiased service; 2) Unrivaled expertise in business practices and information; 3) Outstanding network of peer executives and lastly; 4) Unmetered service throughout the year.

The Corporate Executive Board has a total of six offices located across four countries, namely the United States, Great Britain, India and Australia.

The Executive Order 11246 was the famous law signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on 24^th of September 1965. The Executive order advocates the practice of equal employment opportunity. It expressly stipulates that it is prohibited for federal contractors and federally assisted construction contractors and subcontractors, especially those who do over $10,000 in government business in one year, to discriminate employment choices based on race, color, religion, gender and nationality. Moreover, contractors are required to “take positive action” so as to ensure that their applicants are employed, and that employees must be treated equally during employment without regard to race, color, nationality, religion or sex.

This order was intended to follow up Executive Order 10479, which was signed by former president Dwight D. Eisenhower on the 13^th of August 1953, which had established the anti-discrimination Committee on Government Contracts. Discrimination was a huge issue back then and this particular executive order had been amended by six subsequent executive orders.

Going back to Executive Order 11246, the stipulations of the order had required contractors to make affirmative actions that would increase the participation of minorities and women in the workplace, though not necessarily favoring them above everyone else. Following federal regulations, affirmative action plans consist of an explicit equal opportunity policy statement, a detailed analysis of the current working force, the recognition of problematic areas, the creation of objectives and schedules for increasing and improving employment opportunities, particular action-oriented programs which address problem areas, providing support for community action programs, and finally, organizing and implementing and internal audit and reporting system.

Potential business students often harbor dreams of success, big circular desks, and a huge monthly paycheck whenever they see an executive MBA course. Many business schools have their own stories of success to brag about; each have alumni that have made it to the top.

Executive MBAs are degrees that are not granted to regular people; they are granted to those with extraordinary vision, an unquenchable ambition, and the patience to settle for nothing more than the best. These are people who talk about ideas instead of things, people who will go the mile when asked for an inch.

Executive MBAs are not just about business protocols, theories, reverse engineering, computations, projections and the memorization of a whole dictionary of business terminology. If there is one thing an executive MBA cannot do without teaching, it will be about ideas. Yes ideas. In an executive MBA, everything revolves around a single coherent and original thought, for this is where great things grow.

Executive MBAs teach their students how to make these ideas take wing and soar. They will focus on the analysis, generalization, comparison and the refining of ideas. Why all about ideas? Because there are no permanent answers, no simple rules to make a business flourish.

Every course taken by an executive MBA student will focus on an idea. They will be able to examine all ideas regardless of who presented them (classmate or professor). They will learn how to properly dissect an idea and voice their support, dissent and offer suggestions. When learning about ideas, there are no wrong questions, only ones that remain unasked.

The executive MBA course will also teach the student how to correctly evaluate both problems and opportunities. Every subject matter  contributes a tool with which to see and appreciate new learnings.

Lastly, the executive MBA course will teach the student how to handle doubt, as students will be used to the situation of not having a particular set of formulas to guide them. Without a formula, students will learn to act decisively and think more critically. It will not teach you how to be a great leader, but it will definitely teach you how to carve a path for one’s self.

Executive leadership is not really that far from ordinary leadership in the sense that it still follows the same principles and is bound to more or less a similar code of ethics. The difference lies on the part of the leader, as not all leaders have an expertise on the same field. Leadership comes in many forms, and some forms of leadership are more technical where others are more upfront. In an leadership, experience, objectivity, decision-making skills, team-minded and the ability to solve problems are skills one cannot do without.

In the case of executive leadership (where the setting is corporate), the required experience are usually related to the fields of economic development or business management. This is because most corporations play a significant role in a nation’s economy. They are a factor in the rate of employment, the state of the gross national and domestic product, and the government taxes that pay for the improvement of the nation.

Objectivity, along with thoroughness and confidentiality is also a highly prized skill for an executive leader. He/She must be fair to his/her members, maintain prudence when speaking of his/her members to other groups. He/she must also settle for nothing less than perfect; in an ideal world, 99% is not good enough, because 1% is still missing. There is no good enough, it’s either completely successful or it fails.

A leader’s job can be strenuous and stressful so an excellent grasp on time management is a definite must so as to enable to get more things done in less time, always an advantage when it comes to working on a set time line. The executive leader is also ideally well-connected in the business and possesses adequate knowledge of the market.

Executive leaders must keep their integrity with them at all times. If they make a promise or commitment, they have to stick to it. Likewise, the executive leader must also be firm with his/her convictions. He should be firm with his members– praise those who are doing a good job and apprehend those who don’t reach the set of expectations he had given. Being a leader means identifying the best candidates for the position and weeding out the unqualified ones.

Lastly, an executive leader has a vision, one that is doable and can take off successfully. He/she must be focused on achieving their goals, and must put duty before self. As all leaders go, a good leader knows how to serve first and foremost and being in the upper crusts of the corporate food chain doesn’t change that.
