  • Education time... is not Garvey but

    study anyway..

    <He placed a premium on the “creativity of the leadership, its willingness to learn from experience elsewhere, to implement good ideas quickly and decisively through an efficient public service.” In addition, he argues for a leadership style that can “convince the majority of people that tough reforms are worth taking, that decide a country’s development and progress.”

    Lee Kuan Yew had candid views about African leaders, whom he thought were playing by a different set of rules. He had strong advice for leaders who focused more on the trappings of power and less on delivery.

    But he remained optimistic: “There is no reason why Third World leaders cannot succeed… if they can maintain social order, educate their people, maintain peace with their neighbours, and gain the confidence of investors by upholding the rule of law.” Lee Kuan Yew has bequeathed to the world an enduring legacy of what can be achieved by focusing on human capital and managerial discipline. It is about determination, consistence, and persistence on the part of the leadership.

    Those leaders who think that by merely flouting political power they will help their countries to grow are misreading the history of Singapore. They might as well take Lee Kuan Yew’s advice: “Anyone who thinks he is a statesman needs to see a psychiatrist.”>
