Solving problems often require making difficult choices\u2014choosing between alternative courses of action. Let us consider national leadership. When people run for office, they make campaign promises sometimes written in a manifesto format. The manifesto encapsulates the vision of the leader (such as Donald Trump) or that of the political party (usually the case in developing countries). In all democratic societies, sovereignty is invested in the citizenry or public and they through adult suffrage elect public servants to help manage the nation and its resources. One of the jobs that these public servants are given by the people is solving public problems. In doing so, the public good is of utmost paramountcy. These resources in a nation are not infinite so the elected and appointed leaders who are public servants (servant leaders or leader servants) are tasked by the people to provide solutions to public problems with finite resources. The solutions they come up with is what is known as public policy and usually elected officials will prioritize public problems that are in line with their visions or manifesto. But how is public policy arrived at? To illustrate how solutions to public problems are arrived at, we must consult what is known as a policy cycle. It is basically a cycle of prioritization of choice and alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6pt 0 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Ordeal Eroded'; color: #0070c0;\">LEADERSHIP, POLICY CYCE AND CHOICES<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6pt 0 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat; color: #0070c0;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/governancesolutions.wordpress.com\/2019\/05\/06\/tls-46-leadership-and-vision-17-set-priorities\/picture1-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-875\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-875\" src=\"http:\/\/admin.sunesishq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/picture1-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"899\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sunesishq.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/picture1-1.png 899w, https:\/\/sunesishq.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/picture1-1-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/sunesishq.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/picture1-1-768x448.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6pt 0 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat; color: black;\">STAGES IN THE POLICY PROCESS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\">\n<li style=\"margin: 6pt 0 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat; color: black;\">Issue Identification: Attention that prompts the need for government action<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 6pt 0 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat; color: black;\">Agenda Setting: Government begins to give serious consideration<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 6pt 0 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat; color: black;\">Policy Formulation: Development of possible solutions; consideration of several alternatives<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 6pt 0 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat; color: black;\">Policy Adoption: Deciding on a particular alternative or set of alternatives<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 6pt 0 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat; color: black;\">Policy Implementation: The policy can change quite dramatically during this stage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin: 6pt 0 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat; color: black;\">Policy Evaluation: How well did or does the policy work?

It is the one\u2019s s\/he selects that make it onto the national agenda, hence <strong>agenda setting stage<\/strong>. The prioritized problems will be handed over to civil servants who are policy analysts to come up with a number of possible solutions for the policy maker to make a selection from. This is the <strong>policy formulation stage<\/strong>. Of all the solutions proffered, only one will be adopted for action by the policy maker. This is the <strong>policy adoption<\/strong> stage and requires prioritizing one alternative above all the ones proffered by the policy analysts. The option that is adopted will then be <strong>implemented<\/strong> and <strong>evaluated<\/strong>. If the problem (issue identified) is resolved, then the policy is a success. If the solution proffered does not resolve the problem, then another solution is adopted, implement and evaluated\u2014and the cycle is continued until the issue identified is resolved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6pt 0 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Ordeal Eroded'; color: #0070c0;\">SUMMARY<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6pt 0 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat; color: black;\">Leadership requires making a lot of choices<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat; color: black;\"> and choices can make or break leadership. \u00a0The entire creation fell because of ONE choice of Adam and Eve to disobey God. Sometimes we can choose a good option at the expense of best. The good news we see from the policy cycle example is that, \u201c<strong>vision focuses our priorities<\/strong>\u201d. A government\u2019s manifesto or vision focuses its priorities and it makes decisions based on its vision. If a leader wants to fulfill their vision, they must fix their gaze and energies \u00a0on their vision and allow it to dictate their choices. They should guard against following options that are not harmful but do not enhance the fulfilment of vision. Such options distract from the main thing. As noted by Peter Lord: The MAIN THING is to keep the MAIN THING the MAIN THING. The main thing is vision. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 6pt 0 12pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 200%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"><strong><u><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: 'Ordeal Eroded'; color: black;\">PS<\/span><\/u><\/strong><span style=\"font-family: Montserrat; color: black;\">: On the issue of national leadership, here is some food for thought. Nations for the most part allow the elected servants to come up with a vision for the nation (manifesto) and these government administrations are evaluated on the basis of their own manifestos. When another administration is given power by the\u00a0 people through adult suffrage, they also bring their visions which are different from those of their predecessors. Is this good leadership practice? The disjointed, disparate visions do not make for continuity. Would it not be better to have a broad national vision that each administration regardless of party affiliation must subscribe to? Is so, how does such a national vision come about and what checks and balances should be put in place so that it represents the aspirations of the people and not political parties or external actors? <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MARCH 26, 2019 LEADERSHIP, VISION &amp;
