“Regaining a sense of the state is thus an absolute priority, not only for an effective policy against... terrorism, but also for governance itself” (Moorhead Kennedy).
Corporate governance refers to companies doing business and making money in both a legal and ethical manner.
It is about all the many different legal and ethical aspects of how any particular business organization is run and operated.
Law abiding and highly ethical business organizations are widely known to have very good corporate governance, as all their business operations are in strict compliance with all the various legal rules and regulations.
Companies that run afoul of the law and which engage in dishonest business practices are considered to have poor corporate governance and they will be punished for breaking or infringing on any legal and ethical frameworks.
If your company does business in a legally and ethically way, it is said to have good corporate governance.
If your company does business in an illegal and unethical way, it is said to have bad corporate governance.
Corporate governance is a combination of the legality and ethics of doing business for any company in the corporate world.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.
Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.
A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
