Wandering Into Wisdom

This blog chronicles the knowledge, insight and wisdom I encounter every day as a leadership consultant, executive coach, educator, father, friend and citizen. This site is dedicated to my father, Louis (Jack) Laughlin, who passed on to me an appreciation for wisdom. A special thanks to my friend Isaac Cheifetz, a businessman and journalist, who helped me understand the value of blogs and encouraged me to write one.

The Department*

I know an auditor at an international financial services company. They have a group simply called “The Department.” It is a group of computer hacker, ex CIA and ex FBI types that have one job, find fraud and get the money back. They don’t use the courts to do this; they literally steal it back. Then they let the courts sort out whose money it is.
