ABOUT CABINET MINISTERS DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

ADVISERS TO THE PRESIDENT

Friday, 28 November 2014
Cabinet ministers should be individuals who are nationally the most qualified in their sector of command.

The advisers (ministers) to the president of a country should be chosen from the best equip to influence the ruling of a nation.
Having the most qualified advisers could be an election incentive.
To give examples:

A minister for mining (mineral resources):
 should have the appropriate degrees and experience to run a mining operation. 
He/she should definitely be one who had experience of working conditions below and above the surface.
He/She must have experience to compete on global and national platforms.
He/She should have a good understanding of the neutralization process of mining waste and what impact it has on the environment.
He/She should be able to do an objective environmental assessment and analysis before implementing new projects, and be able to pilot or find alternative solutions to public concerns.   Too many leaders use job creation as the prime reason to push their projects.
He/she needs to be a good speaker and listener. 
He/she needs the ability to evaluate the best course of action for the present, while having an understanding of the future human, financial and environmental impact of his decisions.

He/she needs to realize that Mining is primary an operation that should create prosperity for the country where it is mined.
Proceeds of a mining operation should alleviate poverty of the whole nation and not just a region.

He needs to understand that the raw products of mining are a national asset as well as a global commodity.   We live on one earth, which we all should share.

The minister of health
 should be a qualified professor of medicine and have previous experience of being a chief medical adviser at a hospital or medical institution, either practical or educational.

He/She should have experience of handling the needs of doctors, nurses and auxiliary workers in both private and state run medical facilities.

He/She should have qualifications/experience in psychology, communication, and the medical needs of the majority citizens and those of the poor and have some interest in addressing the medical needs of all citizens.
All cabinet ministers should also have a reasonable understanding of the law, mathematics and be able to do a statistical analysis, or run pilot programs in case of public concerns.

They should be good motivational and nation building speaker who can address and take responsibility for failures.

There should be a bridging course for leaders or company executives to enable them to acquire above skills as well as training in human resource management, communication and psychology.

All leaders should run their sectors so that it creates better human conditions.
We had our share of ministers, who can only rule by blaming someone or something else, take advice from incompetent dreamers, or push their product by playing on the sentiments of the public by promising job creation.

The gap between the developed and the undeveloped countries

Change can only happen when people desire it.

The difference between developed and developing countries is determined how intelligent their decision-making processes are and their ability to manage their human resource.

Babies can not walk before they have learned how to roll over or sit up in their cradles.    

The maturity of leaders can be judged on how they are able to put their country or community's needs above their own.  
The old king-and-castle leaders are being seen as exploiters who feather their own nests at the expense of  their citizens. 
The first world expects their leaders to  promote their country as a powerful global co-operative player.   They see themselves as group players with their leaders the captains of their team.



Responsibility and control are two elements of maturity.

A self diagnoses of the maturity of the citizens in a region or an organization can be measured by the way they behave during strike action or protest actions:

A mature group will respect the right and possessions of other.
They will be non-violent.
They will not degrade their community or country.
They will not derail the country's opportunity to achieve or grow financially strong. (Strike action during global sporting of conferencing events)
They will not 'cut their noses to spite their faces' by burning down libraries or schools because they want a better education.
They will not ask the government to fix toilets or broken windows in schools before trying to do it themselves or by asking for help from the community first.
They will not steal from hospitals or institutions that is there to aid those in need.
Nurses will not desert those in their care to strike for more wages.
A first world country know how to maintain roads or public buildings.    Lack of maintenance is a sign of immaturity and in most cases not of poverty.
The gap between the living styles of leaders and citizens is another measure for financial abuse.

This post seems unnecessary for those who have the ability to think for themselves, but there are so many people in developing countries who are still using their combined power destructively.   The problem is that they are being driven by self centered leaders who should have more integrity.

A better world, faster.

What is Transformation?

Transformation should not aim towards changing the colour of leadership to ‘black or white’. The aim of transformation should be towards perfection, or so that it can deliver a better service (which is another measure for perfection).   The aim should be to be better than before, not only look better.    Majority will rule in the long run, if they are given educational opportunities on par with the best, but then they will also need strong role models; people in charge that stand head and shoulders above their subordinates.    They need to aim to win by being the best, and not aim for an emotional sympathy vote.

The drawbacks of putting someone with lesser qualifications (but a better skin tone) in charge will have negative kickbacks.
•    The more qualified co-workers will criticize the decisions made by the leadership.
•    They will neglect their own work because they are disillusioned by the system.
•    They may complain to the press who will report on the weak decision making process and the country concerned will loose Brownie-points from the global community.
•    The sky-limit will just be another step lower than it can be; the best would have been downgraded.
•    A developing country will be another step further from being included in the global decision making group (or a step closer to loosing that position).

In South Africa employment decisions should not favour colour above competence.   If we do that we shall continue to be a developing nation.   We need to break out of the ‘apartheid’ mould to become a developed nation.

No part is bigger than the whole.

No one race is more important than unity, because only a united country can break barriers.   Only a united country can work together to achieve greatness.

Using the same measure no country is bigger than the continent.    South Africa is not bigger than Africa.   A continent is measured both by its best and worst nations.

No one continent is bigger than the world.   No nation is bigger than the world of nations.   No race is bigger than the whole of humanity.

We should transform according to the measure of humanity; it is the only way to be a developed nation on the global platform.     To measure against humanity is the only way to rise to leadership.
