Hello all forumnites,
[b]New Leadership and Process
Management
Very often, people would about leaderships, talents or other
recipes or factors of success in running a business or a
country.
At one time, people readily worshipped their leaders' eloquence, or
personality etc that appealed to their base instincts. Is this kind
of leadership what we need today in nation building?
How do we get our leaders to translate goals, objectives and all
kinds of look-good policies into actions and processes to deliver
results with objective performance, reliability, justice, empathy
with the poor and needy, the underdogs or socially handicapped or
better serve the social and economic wellbeing of all.
Chances are that leaders today are still mostly rhetorical, and
conceptual offering good-looking policies and assumptions rather
than the ability to deliver results and economic
competitiveness.
Given the continuously fast-changing technological and
knowledge-based environment of today, it will be foolhardy to rely
on concepts about talents or assumptions in governing of a
country.
In the new age, leaders should be people possessing implementation
abilities and special knowledge and skills in applying technologies
to fuel growth. Practical knowledge applications will thrive and
lead the world in the future.
Hence, they should act as facilitator of follow-through
performance, objective and accountable corporate governance,
leveling up of populations to gain competitive advantages to seize
opportunities at practical applications of knowledge by all in
every field.
They should mobilise people to achieve progress through
implementation processes and go beyond revenue collections and
enforcements of regulations and controls or provisions of basic
services in security, medical or other utility needs of the early
ages.
Effective leadership today should consist of the following
criteria:-
(1) Translate goals and objectives and policies and assumptions
into implementation processes to empower all in transforming widest
fields of knowledge to create technology start-ups and jobs to
bring about value-adding competitiveness.
(2) Collective leadership or governance to avoid narrow top-down
conceptual look-good management by a few erudite elites or
individuals.
Process management will avoid bias, prejudices of individuals,
presentations, public relations, rhetorical abilities or emotive
personality appeal.
Collective process management should aim at translating all goals,
objectives, ideas or policies into real implementation capabilities
from planning to execution, applying knowledge with total
coordination to benefit whole society. Implementational efficiency
and creativity must be part of the new ability to lead and
rule.
The government must oversee the implementation of all knowledge
applications from an holistic economic master plan, to realize
technologicial start-ups and value-add all economic activities to
stay competitive.
The modern governments should nurture an environment to grow more
entrepreneurs and technological start-ups and create jobs.
Government should be about creating higher paying jobs to sustain
people's expected standards of living.
Very often, sad to say, many governments are only overly concerned
with their own equations of success and protecting their own
interests which are not consonent with the majoirity's interests or
wellbeings.
It will not be enough to govern a country based on collecting
maximum taxes, saving or privatising government expenses and
creating government surpluses. Without empowering the workers and
employees to participate in practical knowledge application, the
economic pie is unlikely to grow.
Modern governments should practise holistic good corporate
governance and dispense with self-centred policies of the past and
should open up to facilitate building up of capabilities and
competitiveness through practical knowledge application.
Only by practising collective good corporate governance as
described will governments solve problems diverse problems in a
more holistic manner.
All decisions will then carried out by means of committed
people-centred implementation processes without hindrances from all
the media hype, justfications and look-good presentations and
defensiveness.

If I were to have both that skills and techno know-how, why in
the hack would I stop the police to investigate the White
Elephants?
All of you should wonder whether it's the persons deciding on how
the skills to be utilised or the persons with alot of skills more
important.
We can have a very fanciful tool, but it'd gather dust and dirt
over time doing totally nothing to but maintain its existence. What
is the f^^^ use of this?
Or one can vote in a Satan and the tools into the parliament. It's
the same as the knife saying: It can hurt either way, depending on
who's behind it.
What's behind a leader, Robert?
