Henry Usborne (16 Jan. 1909 -16 March 1996) World Citizen Activist by Rene Wadlow
Henry Usborne was a British Member of Parliament (M.P.) elected in the Labour Party landslide in 1945. He was re-elected in 1950. He was an engineer and Burmingham businessman yet a socialist. Born in India, he always had a broad view of world politics. He was concerned that the United Nations whose Charter had been signed in June 1945 before the use of the atomic bombs had the same weaknesses as the League of Nations. Soon after his election, he spoke in Parliament for the U.N. to have the authority to enforce its decisions, an authority which the League of Nations lacked. He spoke out for a code of human rights and for an active world bank.

The idea in cold organizations is that they claim to be serious, but their version of being serious is that of standing at a distance, not communicating, and solving problems on your own. The problem is that company problems tend to involve many colleagues who play different roles, and if you can’t get them to play their part, the problems linger on.
Of course I’ve worked for many frivolous companies where they may get excited when it comes to throwing jokes and criticizing staff and ridiculing staff, they tend not to be so excited when it comes to playing the corporate role or fulfilling the company mission. A lot of times no one even knows what the company mission is.
