Hi Reader or can I say Business Activist                

“Vote for the most business-friendly party or independent”

My message on the Elections

Most political manifestos have been generous wish lists, missing is where the capital will be coming from. The “how” of lifting the masses out of unemployment and out of poverty through training and upskilling is hardly mentioned.

There must be a “second chance” given to all those unemployed who left school early, without matric. Many lack the basic schooling to be trained and are not employable. Whoever is the new government must come up with a strategy that works, capital is also needed to fund the second chance. In a thriving economy we will need many more skilled technicians, businesses will create the need, government must play its part in up-skilling, the Second Chance.  

Achieving businesses are good at acquiring capital and generating profits that can then be reinvested. On government interfering with legislation that does not trust business to do what is right, namely in transformation.

Empowerment of previously disadvantaged personnel is a management imperative, it will happen faster and more substantially, if the economy is allowed to grow at 6% plus annually of GDP compounded over 15 years. Labour flexibility and removing stifling legislation, that prevents investment and undermines the autonomy of self-respecting businesses, is what is required from the new government.      

PPPs are likely to play a part, the saddest reflection of SOEs and other government entities, they do not have the capital and cannot keep up with modern technology. Facilities are run down; our Post Office is an example. Compare this to Germany’s Post Office (Deutsch Pos) that amalgamated with DHL and look how well their shares have done.

NHI (National Health Insurance) must be watched, the private sector must be brought in somewhere to give the whole venture a step up. A win-win outcome for all stakeholders. Come on business! come up with proposals, the new Government will be ripe to listen to proposals to put this venture on a sound footing. Congratulations B4SA, credible reports are giving the thumbs up for the fixing of ESKOM.

This is a new venture for me, I have a lot to learn, I hope you will use the contact notice above to communicate with me.

Next Blog Number 3 is titled The Business Entity ……

There is an idealism to the practice of management that inspires those working for business entities. It is the idealism of doing what is right, achieving managers are givers not takers. Achieving Practicing Managers can be proud of being the generators of wealth in businesses and thus being the power behind successful economies.

The practice of management made a name for itself in achieving businesses, but other organisations, schools, hospitals, churches, universities, technical colleges clubs, unions government departments, and SOEs (State-owned enterprises)...... all need the practice of management as much as the need for good leadership.
