Confusing between Efficiency and Effectiveness

1. Is is sometime confusing and to understand the meaning between efficiency and effectiveness.

2.Efficient in the civil service is important, but an effective delivery system in the public administration is critical.

3. Efficiency without effectiveness is similar to:

a. Formula 1 car moving without direction
b. Quality machine running without precision
c. Information & knowledge without wisdom
d. KPI without transparent

4. Efficient can be measured through internal changes of forms, methods and indexes; but effectiveness can only be evaluated externally by the people through changes with substance and true action.

5. It is more important to "do the right thing" (effectiveness) than "to do things right" (efficiency). (Peter Drucker). Efficiency in civil service alone (do things right) will not guarantee effective public administration and transparent (do the right thing).

6. Effectiveness is producing results now and the ability to achieve the results in the future (7th Habib). Therefore a change of form without substance is only temporary & current, and not permanent & not sustainable in the future.

7. A change of form without substance is like a slogan without action; temporary not permanent, and a current change for now not for future.

8. Malaysian civil service "need to change" (structural change) not just "need for change" (change of form).

The Fallacy of Ambiguity

1. According to Aristotle, Greek philosopher, the fallacy arises from ambiguity in words, phrase or sentences.

2. It is always the name of a political game that leader, consciously and continuously, create an ambiguity and dilemma without a clear direction.

3. Politicians create dilemma, so they continue to lead; leaders create ambiguity so they continue to be the head.

4. Many decades of ambiguity and dilemma, yet still without a clear direction. It is a fallacy of ambiguity created by some leaders, together with the selected few, to enjoy the material benefit & the authority of power.

5. The "fallacy of ambiguity" will result in the "ambiguity of change" without a clear direction and eventual "failure to change".

6. A good leader always shown truth and clear, they are always respected by the people, morally (ethic) and spiritually (wisdom). He is a leader and spiritual leader of truth.

Confusing The "Need for Change"

The "Need for Change" is a simple and popular term, but sometime confusing. Two confusing leaders may have two difference dimensions and perceptions of the "need for change". The need for change are between:

• backward looking & forward looking
• betray & in faith
• false & truth
• cruel and fair

One leader advocates "proactive", other "counteractive" it, yet they suppose to complement each other, but inner thoughts they are confused.

Ultimately, the people are confused: there are visions without direction; there are changes without substance; and slogan without real action.

There is no time for short-term political games (internal) & blame (external); rather there is the "need for change" in political, economic and social structure & landscape in the long-term. People expectation are high in term of administration efficiency & effectiveness; economy growth with high income; and higher value and care in society.

Good leader must be brave without fear(internal); forward looking without blame (external); and clear without confusing (inner thoughts) the need for change in this challenging global & regional economic environment.

Ultimately, the true leader must be forward looking, be truth & fair, in faith & wisdom

The Real Political Betray

"Betray" is always a political game; corruption is the real betray to the million of poor, and it depleted the nation wealth that could have been better used for education and improve the living of the needed for all Malaysian.
