Kutokana na hali ilivyo sasa ya ukosefu ufanisi kwa viongozi, hasa wanasiasa wetu, ningependa tujadili hili suala la ndoa kama lina mchango wowote katika kumfanya kiongozi awe mwajibikaji, awe mwenye ufanisi mwisho awe kiongozi bora.
Katika mjadala huu, case study iwe CHADEMA, kwani katika chama hiki kuna viongozi wake wengi wako nje ya ndoa, lakini pia utendaji wao sio wa kuridhisha, hali inayo pelekea niwe na shahuku kama kuna mahusiano ya ndoa na uongozi.
N.B: kumbuka hata rais mstaafu,mzee Mkapa, alilazimika kumrudia Mama Anna Mkapa ili tu aweze kukidhi kuingia Ikulu.
As recent events in a Bangladesh garment factory have highlighted, one cannot evaluate the pros and cons of an international market without also looking at corporate social responsibility issues involved in the selection process. In an increasingly connected world, the failures of one's business dealings in what were once considered "remote" parts of the world are no longer remote and no longer easy to hide.
The Wall Street Journal reported on November 30, 2012 that Wal-Mart "didn't know" its products were still being made in the Bangladeshi factory, months after Wal-Mart had revoked the factory's authorization to make their products. This is the problem with the instant age of cell phones, computers and the internet. It's far too easy to beam images of Wal-Mart brand labels amidst the burned-out rubble of a Bangladesghi factory all around the globe, which makes it doubly important that companies, such as Wal-Mart, know exactly what is transpiring in their supply chain at all times.
Not long ago, firms could largely ignore supply chain problems around the globe, because news of any labor unrest, safety concerns, low wages or child labor in these far reaches would rarely find its way into the media or the public's attention. But all that has changed, and firms must address these tough issues head on with humility and honesty. It is critical that firms invest in employees engaged in corporate social responsibility, whose role is to weigh the pros and cons of global decisions and to balance public relations, brand awareness, and cost considerations with the question of what is moral and "right" in a global society.
While consumers' memories may be short-lived in some instances, the ability of the internet (and particularly social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter) to spread news like wildfire, means that negative stories can grow exponentially and be impossible to contain. Firms must do their best to mitigate any potential pitfalls before they happen. It appears that for Wal-Mart, the problem in Bangladesh was a supplier that subcontracted out without Wal-Mart's authorization (
Bangladesh: How Rules Went Astray, Wall Street Journal, December 6, 2012). So in this sense, Wal-Mart may not be to blame for the tragic fire. However, it does raise the point that Wal-Mart needs to evaluate its overall strategy for doing business in Bangladesh, a country that is known for this type of unauthorized behavior. It must weigh its quest for "always low prices" with public perception and people's lives. All companies considering a global business today must be prepared to make corporate social responsibility a key piece of operations, in order to avoid these types of costly mistakes.
