We Need Solutions
Dear Editor,
My experience and studies in leadership has instilled one basic principle – When communicating problems, also advance solutions. You’re either a part of the solution or fall back to allow someone else’s.
Ever so often the president and government ministers extoll problems they are encountering in governing the country. Lacking are their opinions and/or proposed solutions to the myriad issues they are encountering.
We are aware of Mr. Greenidge’s retort that the Foreign Affairs is not an employment bureau, to the flood of aspirants from the diaspora. We are also aware of Finance Minister Jordan on the lack of audit capacity for ExxonMobil’s US$460M bill. Now President Granger’s ‘haemorrhaging’.
The public is left with the empty feeling that some folks may not be able to handle what’s coming their way. More open press conferences are means to get out the solution messages for public scrutiny. This step could be perilous for the uninitiated, but helpful if one is on a continuous learning journey.
The fact is that the public often knows of the problems before they are acknowledged by the government. So, it seems to be a fair question to ask – What do ministers do if not advancing solutions and solving problems?
