Critics

As usual, I always had issues with addressing critics. People usually use their feeling on achieving critics and the outcome of it, is rather bad. I have some suggestions for peoples who are being addressed with critics.

1. Put aside your feelings or egos
there are peoples who address their critics very frankly (like me) and have the strong tehoritichal base (well like me) and that is a good critics, cause you don't have to hire a counsultant, which the rate is skyhigh, for it.

2. Don't judge the critics are contra-productive
Most of people (expecially dictators (well like me)) see every critics is contra-productive, but in the fact, there are no contra-productive critics. I had a client who is really pretend-to-know-it-all person. He even started to conduct a independent bug test even when the program is not even done yet! At first I am very furious, but later on I realized that I had a payed-only-by-compliments bug tester :P, and had reduces of my developing cost greatly :)).

3. Put a smile on your face
When you think (not feel) that their critics are not good for your goal, you should argue with them to see the theoritical background. If it still don't look good, just put a smile and said, "well... i give you a necesarry amount of resources, and try to make a pilot project". If it goes perfectly well, CLAIM IT!! (evil >:)).

The Inavskian Perspective Concerning Dinuetskaya

Several month after Inavskian Republic ceased all diplomatic means with Dinuetskaya. Another grievous news comes from Dinuetskaya official stated that a group of special ops has violated the border of Dinuetskaya and took a symbol of her sovereignty. But the identity is remain classified by Dinuetskaya official.

That incident and the continuation of other painful news, such as disregard the honor of Dinuetskaya, economic and social turmoil on her, has started to make Inavskian Chancellor Ivan, felt that they did wrong in ceasing the diplomatic means.

Chancellor Ivan also realized that although he gave the most sincere economic and defense corporation on her. Dinuetskaya Officials were buying many contraband and using it for about one year during the agreement period.

But on this time, Chancellor Ivan heart is trembling with his sighting about the current state of Dinuetskaya. He had his judgment, plans and assembled his allies in the crusade of saving the Dinuetskaya Republic no matter the cost yesterday. Chancellor Ivan said in the face of the public "Although Dinuetskaya is a cheater, we cannot turn our back on her, we cannot stay idle when the others need us. I know that God is with us and we shall prevail in our endeavor". While Dinuetskaya Government still in doubt of taking Inavskian help.

Furthermore, Chancellor Ivan had stated to his allies that Inavskian need a live long mutual assistance pact with other countries to ensure common prosperity and the survivability of the Dinuetskaya. This situation is critical and Inavskian is really need help!

Yearly Speech from Inavskian Head of Government

Well, Inavsky actually a imaginary state created by me... i'm using it to practice my English... Hoping that this skill will come in handy in the futures :)... here it is.

(the voice of Inavskian anthem, played by the great Inavskian Army)
United forever in friendship and labour,
Our mighty republic will ever endure.
The great Inavsky Union will live through the ages.
The dream of a people their fortress secure.

CHORUS:
Long live our Inavsky Motherland, built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our People, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire. Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see.

Through days dark and stormy where Great Widodo led us
Our eyes saw the bright sun of freedom above
and Ivan our Leader with faith in the People,
Inspired us to build up the land that we love.

CHORUS:
Long live our Inavsky Motherland, built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our People, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire. Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see.

We fought for the future, destroyed the invader,
and brought to our homeland the Laurels of Fame.
Our glory will live in the memory of nations
and all generations will honor her name.

CHORUS:
Long live our Inavsky Motherland, built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our People, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire. Long may our awesome flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see.

(Great Chancellor step up to the podium)
My fellow Inavkian, it's always been a great honor to come before you and address our yearly progress. On the economic sector our income has increased rapidly exceeding 57% percent in some areas. Our rapid development in IT and food industries were the main fuel of our amazing growth. And I, myself thank you for that.

Like any nation, we also have problems, our lack of intervention on the global politics, and low performance of our bureaucracy is two of them. In this year I personally will institute reform on our bureaucracy that ensure every Inavskian can handle their own paperwork with ease. We also must keep on searching for the best candidates for our long term alliance that share common ideals to ensure our arsenal of democracy.

Why I don't stated our other problems such as technological advancement, transportation and soon? I believe that we can overcame that problems as the global economic stabilizes in this year, so those are not a big problem for us, but we must still work on that.

Victory is almost upon us, but we must keep pushing forward. God is my witness, I promise that our yearly plans will be complete in just 10 month and that what I called progress.

(crowd is cheering and chanting Great Chancellor Ivan)

My own judgement upon my leadership at PSIK (Corporate Perspective)

Last week I read about Human Resources book. It's written by James Low and T. Siesfield and it called measures that matters. It's about top ten non financial variables that financial analyst counted when judging a corporate quality, an I want to judge myself when i lead PSIK (actually i treated her like a corporate).

no | name | weight | score | totalscore | reason (sorry no table at blogspot)
1. Strategic Corporate executions | 10 | 5 | 50 | only the political aspect and enviromental of the yearly goal that achieved
2. Management Credibility | 9 | 4 | 36 | fairly low since many problems that can't be solved in time, mostly trivial problems
3. Quality of Corporate Strategy | 8 | 9 | 72 | it's PSIK-ITB so my strategic quality is backed-up by the brightest mind
4. Innovation | 7 | 8 | 64 | mostly the opportunity that raised later on is seized perfectly by us :)
5. The ability to attract and keeping the best people | 6 | 10 | 60 | our best people is keeped (such as, bakot, dikdik, teja, gita, hanna, agung), while the rest is dropped out because of academic issues :D
6. Market share | 5 | 6 | 30 | well at least we are counted on west java region :D
7. Management expertise | 4 | 3 | 12 | management theories? go to hell with it :))
8. Stakeholders are compensate equally | 3 | 6 | 18 | only the active ones and the closest friend that is counted by us
9. research leadership | 2 | 9 |18 | innovate along the way dude! most of ground breaking tactics on politic in invented here!
10. Quality of main business process | 1 | 10 | 10 | complaints of the people are received to the top level within 24 hours and the decision on organizational level concluded within 48 hours.
total is 320/55 = total result is 5.81 (fairly low :( )

that's me, how about you? any complaints?
