Brass statues of a bear and a bull on marble bases could make interesting desk decorations. The best electronic toy of 1997 is the satellite phone. Tickets to Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac concerts would provide welcome relaxation for stressed executives.

Staying power
Article Abstract:
The common belief that a chief executive officer (CEO) gets fired because of a company's poor performance is wrong. Often the politics of firing a CEO are messy and very tricky. A study by the Harvard Institute of Business reports that four sources of power decrease the likelihood of a CEO getting fired. The important factors are to be with the company for a long time, be a chairman as well as the CEO, have a small board of directors, and be a founding father.
