A decade-long research study on Thai leadership, conducted by an executive and Professor Bruce McKenzie, demonstrated remarkable accuracy. This study, based on global data and insights from diverse Thai groups, offered a comprehensive perspective on leadership.

 

Over the past dynamic decade, predictions by Thai contributors have proven highly accurate, leading to the emergence of six key leadership approaches. These encompass building resilience, fostering flexibility and innovation, promoting intergenerational dialogue, rebuilding trust, emphasizing continuous learning, and adeptly managing both short- and long-term leadership strategies in diverse organizations.

 

Thai organisations that have incorporated these principles into their leadership models have managed to thrive. However, the research also reveals that as organisations are made up of individuals, implementing these changes is far from straightforward.

 

These leadership principles have practical applications in Thai life, including scenario planning for unexpected issues, promoting agility and flexibility, and encouraging innovation and experimentation. Bridging generational gaps through mentorship and shared experiences, fostering open and honest communication, and nurturing a culture of continuous learning and adaptability are vital aspects of leadership.

The new government could do with all of this, and including the bureaucrats (at every level).

However, there are different approaches to leadership: the dinosaurs in Thai government have also managed to thrive with their principles: Corruption, Cheating, Obfuscation, Persecution, Threats

I am always suspicious of this sort of management-speak designed imho to obfuscate rather than illuminate. 

 

Eg "These encompass building resilience, fostering flexibility and innovation, promoting intergenerational dialogue, rebuilding trust, emphasizing continuous learning, and adeptly managing both short- and long-term leadership strategies in diverse organizations."

 

What on earth does it all mean? And exactly how do you build resiliency? To me it is not implementable. And Thai performance over the past decade has not really been very inspiring. We see declining exports, decreasing FDI, companies moving to Vietnam, and massive government borrowing for white elephant schemes, for example like high speed rail where if you just put a decent 50mph railway in and a few express trains, could be done at a fraction of the cost. The economy has been artificially maintained by high Government spending. And now Sretta's policy is full of crazy give- aways. Maybe they can excel by having 'diverse organizations'.

 

 

It is hard to find articles that actually achieve making the reader stupider than they were prior to reading it. This is one of those rare cases. What a bunch of <deleted>!

I thought this was going to be an interesting article. In actual fact it is nothing. No examples, nothing.

And I am even more suspicious about the way these vague and complex principles can be effectively measured with any reliability, and correlated with performance.

BTW, Bruce who?
