Bank of America provides a great lesson for any business

I read with interest about the behind the scenes work B of A has been doing in response to the possibility that Wikileaks could release embarassing documents about the bank. It reminded me of a quote from the CEO of Best Buy when he said "There's no such thing as an internal memo anymore." It's an important lesson for any company. Don't do something in secret that you wouldn't do in public. It's not worth it. If you do, it's kind of like building a business with landmines that could go off at any time. Simply put: you have nothing to hide when you're creating long term value!
