Any business. Businesses' goal is to make a profit while providing a product or service. Gov'ts aren't efficient because the risks of failing are far greater than not making money. ie people die when natural disasters are not mitigated or the elderly and infirm cannot get medical care

Business people should not be in government, because they can't make the switch from PROFIT to PROVIDE. It's a completely different mindset. They don't understand service.

They shouldn't be at the head of anything IMO. Things got significantly worse for a lot of companies (and the world) when their leaders started emerging from an external MBA class instead of up through their own ranks.
