AIDS CURE?
The acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a time bomb to the world today and threatens to wipe away the human race. This disease has become a nightmare to most of the African countries and most of them are wondering what researchers in pharmacy and their teachers are doing now that they are not giving us the aids cure. Anyway, we should not blame researchers much since they have done their best but not good enough. Some like the Kenya’s professor Arthur Obel have put their names on the world map by coming up with solutions that they claim to be cure for AIDS. He first surfaced and hit the headlines when he came up with pal omega, a drug he claimed to have tested with many patients who he later confirmed to have had positive results. Since then, he has come up with other brands which include pal indica which also have the same effects. But what happened to pal omega? Rumors on the ground say that when requested to give the formulae he used to come up with the drug, he declined saying that he could not sale his God given ability to others. The authorities are also claimed to have banned the drug from being floated in the market. Since then, many herbalists have come up with medications which they believe to be a solution. But there is a ray of hope. There are so many AIDS management drugs. This is simply suggesting that herbal medicine is the way forward. The advantage of going herbal is that the body is kept away of getting into contact with many chemicals from other drugs.
EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION
Everyone is a leader in his own ability and capacity. The success behind any kind of organization is effective leadership and administration. However, there are people who are born as leaders but it's important to note that leadership and administration is an art and every art can be learnt. I have met many people who never thought of being leaders but have effectively learnt the art of leadership and emerged as leaders to be admired.
In any kind of leadership, the first area of effective administration is the administration of funds. Be it in business, government departments, church or any other kind of organization, you will have the most effective leadership if you learn to use the funds properly. If any of your employees wants to paralysis your operations and bring down decades your leadership, the first place to target is your finance or/and accounting department. Your employees in this area should therefore be people of integrity and who have internalized the vision of your organization.
The second area that determines how effective you will be in your leadership is managing people. The human resource directly affects the operations of your organization. You must begin by placing every employee in the department where he/she will work best. You therefore begin by identifying where to place your staff. This means that an effective leader is close his or her staff and spends time them. After placing them in their rightful places, you need to monitor their performance. Performance of your staff is closely tied to motivation. Every employee needs to be motivated. This entails different strategies. Know which kind of motivation to use. It is not necessary to promise your staff a reward for good performance. This may bring in unhealthy competition, hatred and lack of cooperation between staff who want to out-do each other. Therefore reward unexpectedly.
Motivation may be as cheap to the organization as recognition, but make sure you recognize a staff in the midst of others. Do not do it in a closed office. It may not serve the purpose. Other strategies may include promotions, gifts, added responsibilities and increase in salary. You must also ensure that your staffs are working as a team. Working together ensures the staffs are focused towards the goals of the organization.
Effective leaders give an ear to every stakeholder of the organization. Know that the whole organization is looking on you to give direction. Begin by listening to every stakeholder then give a direction. Sometimes it's necessary to give directions basing on what you believe is best for the organization regardless of other peoples views. But this should not be always because it does not mean that you are always right. Conflict resolution strategies are important. Know that there will always arise conflicts. The win/win strategy works best for most organizations. Therefore make sure that each of the conflicting parties does not feel offended.
