Empire-Building

The act or practice of a manager or employee attempting to increase his/her influence over the company for which he/she works without regard for what is best for the company. A variety of factors may influence empire-building, such as the possibility for a higher salary or simply the prestige that comes from being an important person. Empire-building is frowned upon in most sectors, as it does not benefit shareholders and can in fact harm them if an empire-builder is neglecting the actual business at hand.

LADY GAGA by Daily Record (Glasgow, Scotland) With the backing of the Democratic Congress, the Republican White House's aggressive pursuit of a military approach to empire-building has led to a world-wide decline of US influence, the realignment of former client rulers toward imperial adversaries, the emergence of competing hegemons and loss of crucial sources of strategic raw materials. Retreating Empire and Bellicose Bluster by The Palestine Chronicle (Mountlake Terrace, WA) This is 2007 for goodness sake, an age when most European small nations have achieved their freedom, a modern age when all these nations are proudly waving their beloved flags, so why indeed do some of us even contemplate squeezing the Welsh Dragon on that dinosaur called the Union Jack, a blood-soaked empire-building banner which reeks of occupation not amalgamation.
