Leadership: Wen Jiabao and Peter Drucker

Premier Wen Jiabao and President Hu Jintao are both government officials that i respect a lot. Both of them are the governmental figures in China, head of the modern China that represents China to the world and to 1.3billion chinese citizens.



I read this statement from danwei.org; a quote from Premier Wen Jiabao about his beliefs.

In his speech, Wen reviewed the progress of the relationship between China and the US. He also commented on the milk scandal, saying "entrepreneurs should have morality running in their veins." And in a review of his career as Premier, he remarked on the legacies he wants to leave behind when his tenure is over:

First, never flinch in the face of disaster but face it square-on. Be strong, courageous, and confident to lead the people to conquer difficulties. Second, the government should have no special powers apart from being a clean, responsible, dedicated servant of the people. Power belongs to people and is for the people....I hope after I die, people would remember me for sticking to these principles.

If we can have these leaders in our government today, then i believe that our Malaysia will not have so much of these political tension, racism, races hatred and other much problems that we are facing right now. At least by then, the leaders will be able to focus on to the bigger pictures, the bigger goals, to develop Malaysia to be a 1st class country. Not a 1st class infrastructure but 3rd world mentality citizens.

How can we expect the middle management and the average Malaysians today to behave and think, when the top management and the leaders are so corrupted in their mentality. It comes from the top. If our very top guys, is being pointed for lack of leadership, for creating scandals such as sexual, blowing up Mongol model, favourism and bla bla, how can we as an average Malaysian have ANY faith at all?

I believe the lack of leadership is what Malaysia is facing right now. A leader whereby, he/she regardless of race but determine by the ability and credentials, is crucial for our progress. Peter Drucker has the most awesome examples how a leader should be. Go google or read here.



These are some of the finest examples from the legendary, Peter Drucker, rest in peace.

1. Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.

2. Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs.

3. Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.

4. Most discussions of decision making assume that only senior executives make decisions or that only senior executives' decisions matter. This is a dangerous mistake.

5. Rank does not confer privilege or give power. It imposes responsibility.

There are more of these principles available anywhere in the internet and library. So instead of influencing our dearest "melayus" to mingle with politics and racial hatred, please ask them to read and understand more about these principles of a PROPER leadership and how other developing country runs their nation to become successful!
