The increase of diseases and the sophistication of complications in the human body have left the world wondering where to turn to. But there seem to be some sign of hope in the herbal medication. The world is drastically changing to this kind of medication, a speed that can only be compared to the way technology is growing. The cause of the rise in complications is that people have ignored the key principles of life and this has left us with no medical solutions to most problems. These problems simply arise when few individuals want to become rich quickly and therefore violate the basic human principles to healthy living. Do you remember the uproar when GMOs were introduced? I wonder what has been done about it. Many people have blamed science which comes up with such kind of products and afterwards disqualify them as harmful. the truth is that thou the world needs cheap foods, this should not be done at the expense of human health.
The herbal medics are offering an alternative solution towards for such kind of dilemmas. It is painful for people to hear that the medicine we take could as well leave a lot of chemicals in the body which later needs detoxification. One would wonder why medication should also turn deadly. This and other simply facts that should convincing have formed the basis for herbal specialists to argue and defend their medications. In Africa this has not be absorbed very easily. Herbs were associated with witchcraft and therefore it took the church a long time to buy the idea of herbal health. Anyway, what matters to a sick individual is the need to get well and not by what means.
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.
