You really think “non profits” are any less power hungry than for profits?
- rurp 3y agoI'm not the original poster, but yes I do. Sure there are plenty of examples of power hungry non-profits and once in a while a for-profit company acts altruistically, but on average I think that there's a difference. If we randomly picked some executives from either type of company I would bet that the people in the non-profit group would more often have motivations beyond pure power and money accumulation.
- scarface_74 3y agoLet’s take the executives of the non profits that make the most revenue, how many do you think are not concerned with power…now add religious institutions to that mix. Then add college administrators to that mix.
- LadyCailin 3y agoI don’t believe religious institutions deserve to be non profit.
- sirspacey 3y agoHaving worked in non-profits and with a community of people who do, there’s not a difference. Large non-profits optimize for revenue, small ones for impact. The big fish eat the little ones or turn them into impact sharecroppers.
