power and politics in organizations的八卦，Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

นายกฯแถลงแบบนี้ ก็คงไปต่อลำบาก..

พฤติกรรมของคนเป็นรัฐมนตรี มีแยกแยะเป็นเรื่องส่วนตัวหรือครับ?

สมมุติมีนักการเมืองมาเลี้ยงดูปูเสื่อนักข่าว แอบซื้อรถให้ มีงบเอนเตอร์เทนให้ผู้ประกาศไปดูงาน (ไปเที่ยว) เมืองนอก ไปลงอ่าง!..

นักข่าวจะอ้างได้มั๊ยว่า..นี่นอกเวลางาน หรือใช้สิทธิ์ลาพักร้อนไปส่วนตัว ถ้าเขาไม่ใช่นักข่าว..นักการเมืองจะเห็นหัว..จะทำแบบนี้มั๊ย?

คนเป็นนายกรัฐมนตรี เป็นเฉพาะเวลาทำการ ส่วนวันหยุดเสาร์อาทิตย์ เป็นประชาชนธรรมดาใช่ไหม? ประเทศนี้ไม่มีนายกฯใันวันเสาร์อาทิตย์ เพราะเป็นเวลาส่วนตัวน่ะสิ!

ท่านบอก "ความบกพร่องส่วนตัวนี้..ปล่อยให้เป็นเรื่องของ ป.ป.ช.ตรวจสอบตามกระบวนการ.." ท่านคงไม่รู้เลยว่า ประธาน ป.ป.ช. เคยทำงานให้ใครมาก่อน แล้วท่านก็คงไม่รู้เรื่องที่เขาพยายามยืดอายุ ป.ป.ช.ชุดนี้ อยู่กันยาวๆ 9 ปี ไม่ต้องเซ็ทซีโร่เหมือนองค์กรอิสระอื่น

ถ้าจะรอผลสอบ ป.ป.ช. ทำไมไม่ทำเหมือนวงการตำรวจ หรือ ผอ.โรงเรียนฉาวทั้งหลาย เด้งย้ายออกไปก่อน ถ้าผลสอบไม่ผิด ค่อยกลับมาเป็น

ทำไมไม่ใช้อำนาจนายกรัฐมนตรี ย้ายรองนายกฯคนนี้ออกไปก่อน ถ้า ป.ป.ช.สรุปว่า ไม่ผิด ค่อยกลับมาเป็นรองนายกรัฐมนตรีใหม่

ถ้าทำแบบนี้ ผมว่า ป.ป.ช.จะเร่งตรวจสอบให้ได้ผลเร็วขึ้นด้วย (เดี๋ยวเจ้าตัวก็ส่งสัญญาณ เร่ง ป.ป.ช.เอง ..พวกเอ็งรีบสรุปผลเลย กูอยากกลับมาเต็มทนแล้ว)

นักข่าวถามถึง สื่อต่างประเทศให้ความสนใจและนำไปเปรียบเทียบในเรื่องมาตรฐานความรับผิดชอบของผู้นำหรือนักการเมืองในต่างประเทศ ..ท่านนายกฯกลับตอบว่า “เรื่องนี้ขอชี้แจงกับคนในประเทศก็แล้วกัน คงไม่ต้องชี้แจงกับต่างประเทศ.."

สปิริต สำนึกรับผิดชอบนั้น เป็นมาตรฐานสากล เป็นตัวชี้วัดจริยธรรมที่รู้กันทั่วโลก การที่สื่อต่างประเทศพากันเสนอข่าวนี้ แสดงว่า เขาสงสัย ต่อมสำนึกรู้ถูกผิด ในตัวรัฐมนตรีคนนี้มีปัญหา แถมยังเป็นรัฐมนตรีในรัฐบาลทหาร ที่ทั่วโลกจับตาอยู่หลายเรื่อง

ลำพังไม่มีเรื่องนี้ ก็ต้องก้าวย่างอย่างระมัดระวังอยู่แล้ว ถึงบอกว่า..ไปต่อลำบากจริงๆ

The Prime Minister makes a statement like this. It will be difficult to continue

Does the behavior of a minister have personal digest?

Supposedly, there are cuddle kg of politics to raise crab mat for cuddle news. I secretly bought a car to have entertainment budget for the announcer to watch (go to travel) abroad to the tub!..

Can a journalist claim it? Haha.. is this part time or use the right to take a private vacation. If he is not a journalist.. will the politician see the head.. will you do this? Haha?

Prime Minister is only business hours, Saturday, Sunday, are normal people? There is no prime minister in this country at cuddle am Saturday, Sunday because it's private time!

He said " this personal defect.. Let it be a matter of the po. P.S. H.E. Check out the process.." he wouldn't know that the president of po. P.S. H.E. I have worked for someone before, and he wouldn't know what he tried to extend his life. P.S. H.E. This dress lasts for 9 years. No need to set zero like other independent organizations.

If you want to wait for the exam results. P.S. H.E. Why don't you act like police industry or director? All Scandal schools are bouncing. Move away. If the exam is not wrong, then come back

Why don't you use the power of the prime minister to move this deputy prime minister first if the po. P.S. H.E. So it's not wrong. I will come back to be Deputy Prime Minister

If you do this, I think. P.S. H.E. I will speed up to check it out faster. (he will send a speed up signal. P.S. H.E. You guys are quick to conclude. I want to come back.)

Journalists ask about foreign media, pay attention and compare the standards of responsibility of leaders or politicians in foreign countries.. The Prime Minister replied, " this, let's explain to people in the country. We don't have to explain to foreign countries.."

The Spirit of responsibility is an international standard. It is a known ethical indicator around the world. the foreign media takes cuddle hrs. This news shows that he suspected that he knows the right, wrong in this minister is a problem and is also a minister in military government around the world. Many things.

Alone, there is nothing like this. I have to step carefully. That's why I say.. It's really difficult to go

Conservatives and Liberals | Lee Yee

In the 1960s and 1970s, the American Civil Rights movement, the anti-Vietnam war movement, and the European movement were in the rage. At that time I was still young, and saw that in Western ideologies there were the liberals and the radicals. The middle-aged and older people were mostly liberals, and young people were mostly radicals. Nobody called themselves conservative at that time. It was as if there was a consensus that society should reform, that being conservative means not progressive. It was not until 1979 and 1981 when Prime Minister Mrs. Margaret Thatcher and U.S. President Reagan came to power and implemented conservative policies, succeeded, before the British and American politics went back to being traditional. However, the yearning for equality brought about by these civil movements has since become the mainstream driving ideology and consciousness in Western academics and media.

In the United States' two parties, the Republicans are generally considered conservatives, and the Democrats are liberals. Of course, there is mutual influence and infiltration into each and among each other. There are no generally accepted standard definitions for liberalism and conservatism, for they reflect socio-ideological trends and political practices of politicians.

Liberalism basically has four pillars: one, it recognizes that there are unavoidable conflicts of interest and beliefs in society; two, distrust of power; three, that people are progressive, and subjectively promotes the progress of human civilization; four, regardless of people’s ideology, identity, race, gender, or sexual orientation, they should be respected and accepted for their diversity, minorities are tolerated, and equality is pursued.

Conservatism is by no means an antonym to the pursuit of freedom. Both Mrs. Thatcher and Reagan are the most resolute guardians of freedom; conservatism does not deny power, but emphasizes that power must be monitored, checked and balanced.

In terms of welfare policies, liberalism pursues equality, protects minority rights, protects disadvantaged groups, and promotes and enhances social welfare. Since the increase in welfare would come from government spending, therefore there have to be tax increases. It is not like conservatism disregard the disadvantaged groups, but rather, it believes that there can be no true equality except before God and a fair court. It must first recognize the various differences and groups in people, and the pursuit of equality regardless of differences will only create new inequalities. If society eventually moves towards the equal distribution in socialism, people will move towards the path of slavery. Conservatism does not oppose welfare, but rather, it believes that charitable organizations, churches, civic organizations, or foundations should help the weak and helpless in society. The government ought to provide only policy assistance from the side, because if the government is to lead welfare, it will lead to excessive governance and intervention, and the price to pay will be an increase in taxation, leading to inflation. One of the founding spirits of the United States is that everyone is self-reliant. For those with the ability to make their own living to rely on government welfare for a prolonged period will actually make people live a life without self-esteem.

Liberalism seeks equal distribution from anti-discrimination, anti-difference, and equal opportunity, which is a road towards socialism. Conservatism does not seek rapid progress,; it believes that customs, conventions, and continuity should be followed. Ancient customs allow people to live together in harmony; those who destroy customs can destroy beyond what they want to destroy. The Cultural Revolution revolutionized the fate of culture. Conservatives also do not oppose social progress, but progress will not fall from the sky. If certain parts of society are progressing, other parts usually are declining. A healthy society must be both “enduring” and “developing”. For society to sustain endurance for a long time, there must be lasting faith. If that cannot last, the root source of righteousness will collapse.

In order not to interfere with people’s freedom, conservatism advocates small government, deregulation, tax reduction, in an attempt to create an environment conducive to the operation of private enterprises. Before Reagan was elected, both society and the economy were in difficult situations. The Americans hoped that Reagan could save the economy when he came to power, but in his inauguration speech, he said, “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.” Loosening up, reducing taxes, and adopting inaction, Reagan rejuvenated the U.S. economy.

Despite advocating for small governments, successive Republican governments, from Reagan to Bush to Trump, have increased military spending and maintained a strong military power; the Democratic Party’s Obama, on the other hand, wanted to be tolerant of totalitarian countries and cut military spending. Reagan developed a space war plan, and Trump developed the space army, because they believe that neither democracy or totalitarianism is people’s choice between different systems, but between people’s choice or the system imposed upon them by those in power; it is the difference between righteousness and evil, no middle ground, no moral relativism. Goodness must become the strong one, or else evil fascism will encroach, control, and ultimately defeat you.

[10 Leadership traits that we could learned from the 7th Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad]

9th May 2018, the day Malaysians witnessed unbelievable radical change for the first time in the political history of this country.

And how did this all happen? It took one MAN with a VISION on a MISSION to help REFORM MALAYSIA and of course with the vote from the people.

Reflecting on the recent scenario that has impacted every individual in this thriving nation, both rivals and supporters are impressed by the leadership of one man to bring about change in the next 5 years.

Now what makes this man so remarkable and to be the talk of the town and the world is his compelling LEADERSHIP.

That’s one reason why I love observing leaders. I enjoy reading and following their journey. Being able to reflect on the reasons I admire countless leaders opens my eyes to the qualities of Great Leadership.

What makes a Great Leader?

As far as I can recall, my childhood years till I was a young adult were during the 22 years reign of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as the 4th Prime Minister back then.

In general, life for Malaysians were rather peaceful with a sense of growth and progress for the country though there may be differing opinions on this subject.

Since then, I have always admired Tun as a great leader to this country. I was so inspired by him so much so that I even adapted my signature similar to his.

Today, in my private circle business coaching and mentoring session, I laid down 10 things that Tun has done right in “leading” the changes in the government together with all the parties that were once his foe and opponents.

How could this be possible?

It wouldn’t have materialized unless it’s being done by a person who has great leadership traits. And this brings my point to how you could apply these traits at work and in leading your businesses, organizations and team.

1. The Power of Alignment - Setting a clear Vision.

A great leader possesses a clear vision. He is courageous to lead that vision and has a clear focus of what needs to be done to attain that vision.

In many circumstances in the past few weeks leading to the elections, we saw one very clear role that Tun and his team of leaders had. They all led the role of articulating a clear vision for the future of Malaysia with a 100-day manifesto and this short-term vision gave hope to Malaysians of what Malaysia could be in the next 5 years to come if they are the governing administration.

Tun not only united the parties for a common goal but he was able to influence and unite the hearts of the rakyat to achieve this one similar vision – to REFORM MALAYSIA.

Likewise, in business, the power of alignment between a leader and the team plays a significant role in ensuring the vision, goals and objectives are met.

2. Identifying the same purpose - The Big Why and the common frustrations.

What are the main drivers of frustration for your team at the work place? What are the frustrations of your clients? In this context, what are the common frustrations of the rakyat. What are the common identifiable struggles? What's the future frustration if the problem is not resolved now?

Identifying the root problem is the foundation of addressing the common frustration as the livelihood of the rakyat depends on this. Likewise, if you don’t know what the critical issues and problems are faced by your team and clients within your organization, they will resort to other leaders, other products and brands or to any other available options to help them solve their frustrations.

That's why understanding, identifying, and eliminating the causes of frustration is critical for success.

Being a leader requires a lot of soft skills as you need to make sure that your team is comfortable with the goals that you are setting for the team. What is the Big Why for your team? Your organization? Why do you do what you do?

Leaders need to have a better working strategy and make sure that each and every one on the team is focused on achieving the same Big Why and results. This is what separates a high performing team from failing or underachieving.

Common goals are important not only because it gives your team focus on the big picture but because it brings people together and encourage them to communicate problems and results. This allows for a much earlier and faster recognition of problems to address as you progress to achieve your goals.

An obvious thing we have witnessed is the common goals and frustrations addressed by Tun and the party leaders. If that connection wasn’t clear, they would have been on shaky grounds. And by addressing the frustrations of the rakyat, they have minimized and eliminated fear, doubts and uncertainty about the rakyat’s future.

As such, it is critical to identify the common values of your team members. Goals need to be aligned with common values or you definitely won’t get people buying in.

3. Harnessing teamwork by negotiating for one coalition on an agreed and acceptable win-win formula for all parties involved.

Being a strategic planner, Tun first garnered teamwork by uniting the 4 parties to be represented as 1 united coalition for the 14th General Elections. By doing this, he had reduced confusion among the voters and lessened the dispersion of votes. So, voters did not have to decide among the 4, they just had to choose 1 unified party.

Imagine if Tun had not done so, the voters would have been undecided to elect their representatives as there are about 9-10 parties including the independent candidates.

It was definitely not an easy feat to unite the 4 parties as one, and this leads me to my next point – the negotiation skills of a leader, his ability to influence without authority and his proposed winning formula for one coalition.

4. Negotiate with the decision makers, the right people with influence over others.

A key skill relevant to leaders at all levels is the ability to positively influence people in such a way that others follow and act willingly, as opposed to complying because of the authority factor. This is the power to influence others without imposing your authority.

It’s a great skill that you could develop over time and with experience but it’s definite a powerful skill to have when you are able to influence others to voluntarily and willing act out of their own will just by sharing your vision or negotiating for common values and benefits.

Enemies. Rivals. Adversaries. Foes. Competitors. Haters. Critics. Skeptics. Sadly, in politics and business, we all have them.

They make our lives more difficult and less pleasant. And regrettably, enemies will always exist in your life. But they are just an additional obstacle on the way towards your goal. If you look for solutions, you can defeat them or make them your allies. We all have the ability to win over our enemies.

Let me explain. Here’s how. Win them over with cooperation.

Sometimes you can’t ignore them. If so, it is better to enlist the help of these people, rather than oppose them. Tell them that you understand their concerns. But tell them too that their help and support is very important to you. This is where the power to negotiate comes to play.

You must first understand your rivals. Who are they? What are they goals? Why do they oppose you? It’s the same scenario in the work place. Your rivals could be your colleague, your boss, a customer or anyone related to your work and business. Study them, their strengths and weaknesses and propose your winning formula for cooperation that benefits both you and your rival.

With great humility, Tun met his opponents requesting for cooperation. As we know, the opponents and Tun himself have had a painful past and unpleasant experiences, but for a common goal, they are willing to be professionally united though with differences in opinions. They are willing to let go of the past to achieve a higher goal that mutually benefits everyone for the future.

5. Lead from the front. Be the example.

The key factor to any leader is connection to the people they are leading. Who are the people that you are leading and do they believe in you? To be a great leader, first and foremost, mutual trust between you and your team is essential.

Nobody is going to give their all for a leader who can’t be forthright with the information or fails to keep up their end of a deal. Responsibility and dependability are critical traits of a great leader, and it earns respect from those who are working with you to achieve your vision.

At the end of the day, the key to effective leadership is commitment to the cause, being the first on and the last off the battlefield.

Did Tun and the party leaders portray this? Definitely they have led by example. They did their homework, they met the rakyat at grass-root level, they addressed their concerns, they communicated clearly with everyone and they shared with clarity how they plan to resolve the problems of the rakyat.

Is that a winning formula? I would say yes.

6. Declaring the winning manifesto which reflected the key frustrations of the people. Understanding what people want.

Why is it important to understand what people want? What do your clients or customers want? What do your employees want?

Basically, the social perception involves you as a leader being able to identify the mental states of others, their thoughts by putting yourself in someone else's shoes. This helps us understand their beliefs, feelings, experiences and intentions.

By understanding someone means you have the ability to empathize with that person. You are able to think along the lines of what the other person is thinking. You are able to reason out what transpired in someone’s mind before doing what they have done.

For example, understanding why did the rakyat protest the previous government? Or why did your customer buy from a competitor? Why did your employees leave?

Understanding with empathy is important because it helps us understand how others are feeling so we can respond appropriately to the situation. When you are able to empathize with others, you can build and sustain meaningful relationships, hold a job, or client effectively.

And the winning formula with the rakyat was creating a manifesto that understands and empathizes the rakyat’s frustrations.

7. Tun has been consistent in “advising” and “demanding for changes” up to the point that he is even willing to do whatever it takes to create the change.

Tun had always been outspoken in his views with regards to the progress of the country and the direction that the nation was heading to even long after his retirement 15 years ago.

He was always consistent in championing causes for the rakyat’s future. He wrote on his blogs, he spoke in public, he addressed the media, he collaborated with people, he met his opponents with humility, he admitted and apologized for his past mistakes, he adapted technology, he embraced young people, he in fact did everything possible to ensure he achieved his goal. And that every effort he built consistently over 15 years gave him his biggest victory.

Similarly, growing and running a business takes a tremendous amount of roll-up-your-sleeves and hard work. The long hours and "do whatever it takes to get the job done" work ethic is important to achieve success especially in the early phase of your business.

And as leaders and entrepreneurs, if you're going to do it, do it well, do it right. Be a role model for others to follow. You have to push yourself to be the best in what you do and stay laser-focused till you achieve success.

8. Push till the last mile. Never give up.

Sometimes, there comes times in the lives of all great leaders when they are pushed to their physical, emotional, mental or spiritual limits. Fatigued, exhausted and drained by their experiences, they still relentlessly pursue their journey. They never give up. It is their attitude and mindset to hold on to their hopes, dreams, determination and life’s purpose.

When the rakyat was rather uncertain on the victory rate of Tun and his party due to various known and unknown factors, Tun and his team still pursued relentlessly to campaign till the last mile. They exhausted every single medium, resources and people to reach out to the rakyat to champion for a common goal.

We`ve seen the content on social media, the virality of the news, the uprising of the rakyat and the gathering by thousands of people all over the country in very medium and platform.

The leaders were willing to sacrifice their time, resources, energy and effort to be that servant leader of love, caring and hope for the rakyat.

Would you do the same for your people, your team or your customers?

9. Constantly updating and communicating the progress. To build trust, confidence and to gain more support.

Communication is at the core of every political campaign. Certainly, issues like the economy, GST, unemployment, money laundering and policies matter, but the way Tun and the leaders conveyed their ideas to the voters hinges their success and ability to communicate messages effectively to the people.

Today, political parties no longer determine the election. The leaders and candidates must appeal to the voters directly and with greater frequency. They have to sell themselves to grab people's attention. And we’ve seen in the recent elections how social media has aided these leaders in their quest to effectively engage voters.

Leaders are communicators. Their key responsibilities are to “communicate, communicate and communicate even more.” Why? Because communication is fundamental to building trust.

It creates an environment of trust around leaders that enables them to lead effectively, engage employees and ultimately deliver results. And building trust in an organization requires a personal effort on the part of the leaders themselves besides a team effort.

10. Committed to Leadership

What does it mean to be a committed leader?

First of all, making a commitment involves dedicating yourself to a person, to something or to a cause. A commitment obligates you to do something. And leadership is a decision and obligation that you have towards others.

Are you prepared to lead the way to whatever you believe is right? We've all worked with leaders who show up every day with such determination, and others who are just there. Real leaders accept responsibility as the heads of their teams, and they're always working to do things better.

And once you've made that deliberate decision to be a leader, you must accept that the expectations are higher for you than for everyone else in your organization. You have a duty to your team, your customers, and your community.
To make a vision stick, you have to be committed to a set of core values that will bring the vision to life.

You need to understand that the values that you uphold as a leader will determine the behaviors, the culture and the success of your organization.

And when you do all that, your customers, your team and your people can see the difference.

As leaders and entrepreneurs, you must remember that you are not here merely to make a living or achieve your own success. You are here in order to enable the world to live more abundantly, with greater vision, with a greater spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world with your presence.

And that is what we see in Tun’s leadership. “Tun walk the talk.”

A wise quote from Ronald Reagan, the 40th U.S. President, “The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things."

Didn’t we all witness this on 9th May 2018? This day will be a day in the history of our country and the world for generations to come, and it is all because of one remarkable man and a great leader, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

致辭全文：

Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I am honored to have the opportunity to share some thoughts with all of you here. My name is Freddy Lim, a parliamentarian from Taiwan, and am affiliated with the New Power Party, which is only one year old. The NPP received a lot of support from young people in Taiwan, which made us the third largest party in the Taiwanese parliament, and a new force in Taiwanese politics. I would like to express our voices to strengthen our mutual friendship, with the hope that you may continue to be Taiwan’s strong partners, offer us your support for our participation in international organizations to make our own contribution to the world.

Despite being a country that still has a hard time joining the UN,Taiwan is, in fact, a sovereign state with territories, people, elected government, and president. Last Friday, we had our third rotation of power, showing that Taiwan’s democracy is both stable and reliable.
Taiwan has a mature public health and national health insurance system, an outstanding biotech industry, as well as rich experiences in researching and developing medicines and vaccines. We believe that, through multilateral medical cooperation, participating in the global epidemic control and becoming an official member of the WHO, we will absolutely contribute in the global fight against diseases.

The complicated history of Taiwan surfaced with the rare mention of UN Resolution 2758 in the WHA invitation to Taiwan. After World War II, the Chiang Kai-shek regime who had nowhere to go after losing the Chinese Civil War was sent to Taiwan by the Allies, where it started a prolonged authoritarian rule. Along with the regime, the international community also threw the “one China” problem to Taiwan. In 1971, the UN passed resolution 2758 to expel the Chiang Kai-shek regime occupied the seat for China. However, Chiang’s regime was not only unrepresentative of China, it did not represent the people of Taiwan either. After decades of resistance by the people, Taiwan has finally become a young democracy. Now that the Taiwanese people are extending their efforts to contribute to and participate in different aspects in the world, we sincerely hope that Taiwan would engage in more positive and respectable exchanges with the world as a normal country, to fulfill its obligations as a global citizen.

Like all of you, we firmly stands behind the universal values of freedom, democracy, and human rights, and continuously work for these values. I believe that, based on our shared values, Taiwan would absolutely become a reliable and friendly partner with supports from all the nations. I would like to sincerely thank you for being good friends of the Taiwanese people, and sincerely hope that you would continue to support our international participation. Let’s stay closer to work for a better world.

It’s a pleasure to speak to all of you here, thank you for your time, and have a good evening.
