TYING LEADERS TO FAILURE
China is doing in their coal mines what every country should do in all business endeavors…
TIE THE LEADERS TO FAILURE!
In China, Managers are being forced to enter the mines with their workers. Guess what? The levels of safety are soaring!
China introduces mine safety rule
By Martin Patience, October 2010, BBC News, Beijing
New regulations have come into force in China that require managers of mines to accompany workers down the shafts. And, of course, the managers hate it…
The authorities hope that putting officials in the mines alongside their workers will act as a strong incentive to improve safety conditions.
But already there have been reports of some managers trying to manipulate the new regulation.
A TECHNIQUE FOR GOVERNMENT
This technique could be used for governmental Politicians and Governmental Executives.
If a group of leaders are isolated from the results of their actions, they will do whatever is pleasant for themselves. We see this constantly and universally across the planet. Governments act in their own personal interest and not in the interest of the people they govern.
The Chinese government has made a Major First Step in tying leaders to the people they lead. This concept should be expanded to all phases of government and to all governments.
HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES:
1. HEALTH CARE
For example, the U.S. Congress just passed a health care bill. But it was for government politicians and their staff.
They have the best health care plan in the world, backed up by a staff of premium doctors at Georgetown University in Washington. The taxpayers pay for everything and they are covered 24/7 for their entire life.
Congress and its staff should get what every American gets and nothing more. Their healthcare plan should be Obamacare, and nothing else. This would include the President and his staff.
2. RETIREMENT
Here is a copy of U.S. Law for congressmen and their staff:
Under both CSRS and FERS, Members of Congress are eligible for a pension at age 62 if they have completed at least five years of service.
Members are eligible for a pension at age 50 if they have completed 20 years of service, or at any age after completing 25 years of service.
The amount of the pension depends on years of service and the average of the highest three years of salary. By law, the starting amount of a Member’s retirement annuity may not exceed 80% of his or her final salary.
Thus, if you started to work for the Government at age 20 and worked until you were 45, you could then retire for life!
A member of the government doesn’t get a Social Security payment, he gets an Annuity which will be 80% of his highest salary.
Every other American must wait until the age of 62! Retired Americans get a Social Security payment based on years worked and salary earned. Nowhere near 80 percent of their highest salary.
3. UNEMPLOYMENT
Government employees never get fired. No matter what the economy does. They have no interest in the economy. If economic times are bad, they are better off.
It is time to tie the unemployment rate of the general public to that of the government. If the unemployment rate is 10 percent, the governmental staff should be cut 10 percent.
Salaries of politicians must be tied to the general economy. When economic pain is felt, everybody must feel it.
SUMMARY
The economy of any country is tied to the behavior of its citizens and its government.
If the government is isolated from the negative effects of the economy its workers will have no interest in the well being of the economy. This methodology must change.
The people of a country and their leaders must be tied closely together, like the Chinese coal miners and their managers.
When we enter a dangerous area of life, we must all enter together.
