Xii Jin Pings leadership style -what we can learn from him

It is about getting better...

We should admire the leadership style of  Xii Jin Ping.   Despite being on the receiving end of his ambtion for China to dominate the world and us, we should find the + things and learn from Xi.

He is son of former vice premier of China and thus he was re educated.   He was made to live in a far away village and thats where he learned to live a modest and humble life and experience the life of poor.  

We are not familiar with his power play and his activities to purge his political rivals and silence them via his anti corruption campaign

He lived in Iowa USA and it is quite heartwarming  to note the deep friendship between Xi and his friends at Iowa.  

There could be world peace after all      

Being patient with host citizens of a tourist destination

It is about getting better...

It was the third time to be in this country.   My impression of the country in 2011 and last week did not change.   The food servers and hotel staff that I encountered lacked the Customer Service that we teach our staff and which we experience in PHL

The sentiment was experssed by a kababayan whom we had a chance to converse with in a restaurant in a reort park.   We had to endure that maltreatment if in our lifetime we had to experience the country.  

The advice by some bloggers is to be patient with theme and to focus seeing the attraction and igrnore these little irritation.   

The counry needs tourists to boost its economy.   And they are in a state of turmoil iwth most foreign companies exiting China (they are part of PRC now)

A tough disaster to discover the cause - falling to the runway of flight 38 Being 777 while landing, evidence disappears

It is about getting better...

A Boeing 777 flight from Beijing to London Heaththrow litterall fell in its landing.  Both engines lost power.  The air incident investigators were at a loss finding the cause of the crash.   Everything in the flight from the flight data recorder seemed to be 100% A.  OK

The AIIB of British Airways listed nearly a dozen possible causes but could not find any.

Then they though of things aoutside of the box -  ice.  But they still could not find any scenario that caused fuel blockage when the plane flew at subzero temperature as it happens when a plane flies in such cold routes ie Beijing to UK.   They were able to duplicate the event when suddenly there was sudden demand for power.    Ice thast had accumullated in the fuel pipes suddenly rushed to the openings of the heat exchanger that blocked fuel flow.

Lateral thinking - stop rescuing, start preventing

It is about getting better...

The focus of NDRRMC has been on rescue.   Relief and rescue operations.

Why not practice lateral thinking.    Dont think of rescue.  Think of preventing events to be one of rescue.  Think of measures to prevent disaster from happening:

    1.  After receiving news of a typhoon,

         1.  Evacuate the residents to high less flood prone areas

         2.  Prepare the rescue boats dinghies  and food stuff, water

    2.  Better still remove the residents from geohazard.   We cant do this because it entails political risk

    3.  Install flood mitigating measures:     soaking gardens, flood plains, giant cistern, gates vs tides and

         storm surges. 

We know of one company who solved its collection problems by not collecting.  No more collectors going house to house who were being robbed or embezzling collection.  How?  They put up a sister collection company who also makes money from collecting other company's receivable.   Bayad Center.  Solved
