Wanna become a CEO? Work on your hairstyle

http://specials.rediff.com/money/2008/may/14ceo1.htm

Indra Nooyi


What has hairstyle got to do with success? There is a hair raising observation among corporate America that most of the successful CEOs including Pepsico's Indra Nooyi part their hair to the left, says US business magazine Fortune.


Warren Buffett


Legendary investor and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway Warren Buffett also parts his hair to the left. The report said that he comes across as the classic left-brainer: rational and assertive.


Jamie Dimon


Jamie Dimon of investment bank J P Morgan Chase also joins the 'left-parted' club of highly efficient CEOs who comb their hair to the left side. In recent years, a pseudoscience has emerged around the theory that left-partedness signals leadership potential, while parting on the right suggest something a little off-kilter, Fortune said.


Rick Wagoner


A look at the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies reveals only three among the top CEOs of 50 firms, part their hair on their right side. They include General Motors' chairman Rick Wagoner.


Lloyd C. Blankfein


Meanwhile, in the Fortune 500 there are highly successful chief executives who neither part their hair to the left or right. Such names include General Electrics Jeff Immlet, Goldman Sachs' Lloyd Blankfein.

According to the magazine, Walter is credited with the theory (of parting hair to left) three decades ago, after he discovered that only a few American presidents parted their hair on the right.


Rediff articles are hilarious and only thing to beat that would be the comments the readers make!!

One rare out of the blue sensible comment:

The author does not provide figures of the proportion of the general population which parts its hair to the left. One just needs to walk downtown and see for oneself the proportion of population parting hair to the left. Common... u fellas ... we all know that the default option is to part hair to the left. No doubt most CEOs are from that group. If i study the number of convicts on death row the most likely outcome would be 'Most part to the left', just as with CEOs.
So i suggest rediff ponders into the details of such research and provide evidence based findings rather than make eyecatching headlines. Unfortunately, eyecatching phrases seem to dominate and apear to be rediff's mantra on certain occasions. Isnt this daft....

And oops! I part my hair right. I just lost a easy CEO berth. :(

This is due to the fact that you will not need
to purchase another dresser for your child when he or she begins to grow up.
You should select one that comes with a pad or mattress and that you should not add any
other things like extra padding or pillows on this bed, this
may cause suffocation. And as a parent, it is only natural that you find the perfect bassinet
mattress for your baby.
