Some years back, the work of an intern mainly consisted of note taking and coffee errands. But these days interns are tasked with high-level engineering, Q&A sessions with company executives, and even engaging in marketing projects.

by Gary Douglas, author of “ How To Become Money “ Throughout the twentieth century, authoritarianism was the most common (and seemingly most effective) form of workplace leadership. During this period, attrition was low. Careers were built on loyalty and longevity. Management could demand stringent structures and expectations in the workplace because most employees would comply, motivated by the fear of losing their place on the corporate ladder.

Marketing is hard. Consumers are bombarded with so many marketing messages that it’s becoming increasingly difficult for a brand to stand out. Yet, every company wants their marketing messages to be memorable, effective, and impressionable. This is easier for big, multinational corporations that spend hundreds of millions of dollars on marketing, but not so easy for startups and small businesses with limited budgets and reach.

There is a line that should be drawn in a relationship between corporate attorney and CEO or board. Attorneys are paid to protect the corporation, not to give business advice.
