Whether at work or in our personal lives, there are those people whose presence we enjoy; there are those with whom we ‘jog along’… And then there are those others – those we might actively avoid. You know who I mean, don’t you!? People seem to fall into three broad categories known as the ‘Radiators’, the ‘Rocks’, and the ‘Drains’. These descriptors hint at the effect they have on us: either providing us with vitality; being passive and immovable; or depleting our energy reserves.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. If you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner—and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top (a concept first popularized by Marshall Goldsmith in his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There ). What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level.

In my last post, I looked at the Biden Administration's proposal to increase corporate taxes, to provide funding for an infrastructure bill, and concluded that while there is room for raising corporate taxes, it would be more efficient and fairer to do so by reducing the tax credits and deductions in the code, than by raising the tax rate. In the weeks since, the administration has come up with its follow-up proposal, this one funded by increases in individual taxes, primarily on the wealthy.
