Kopi talk Wave of changes in the civil services in Philippine ?


Nowadays, the wave of change can be felt even in the province especially remarkable changes in the civil services, A year ago,when you walk into any city hall, some civil servants behaved like they have a mandate from the President, given an impression that the Philippine civil service is bureaucratic, rigid, especially when it so obvious that it is not changing with the times. However, what I'm describing is apparently a worldwide phenomenon. I see that kind of thing go on here or even in Singapore, Korea, USA, UK, China etc. Time wasting civil service runarounds are a basic fact of modern life everywhere, the thing is some country is often praised for its highly efficient and productive services always boasting of how great our civil service is compared to other countries. But the sh*t at the ground level is never shown to the leaders just take a look at the link . http://topmleehsienloong.blogspot.com

So who guilty of it the civil servant or the public ? My take about this is that a lot of people do not know how to handle power, sometimes we are also guilty of it one time or another, rude and demanding for service to be render as soon as possible. A more common trigger reaction complaining for what it is. Making negative comments about other services, people become so ubiquitous that you may not even notice it when it happens. Complaining has become an acceptable, “normal” part of human interaction. However, the truth is that complaining is an enormously disempowering trap. Both side will not benefit out of it. The charm is able to win anyone over in any situation was an art of learning experienced that I had acquired when working as a marketing manager in the private sector and as a civil servant in the government sector.  

Don't freak out,  if we have problems to deal with, then talk about possible solutions. Stay focused on what you want, not on what you don’t want. A win-win situation, also called a win-win game or non-zero-sum game in game theory, is a situation by which cooperation, compromise, or group participation leads to all participants benefiting. The term can be applied to many aspects of daily living, and it is contrasted to the zero-sum game or win-lose situation, where the dominant factor is that at least one person wins while another loses. These are also called zero-sum games and examples include most two-person board games. For instance a chess game is zero-sum. One winner, +1, is added to one loser, -1, resulting in a total of zero.

The basis for any win-win situation is that compromise and cooperation must be more or at least as important as ego and competition. Everyone likes to “win” but the question raised to create the win-win situation is: How can a situation be established where nobody loses? It’s hard to create win-win situations when people are selfish and egotistical, and especially if they don’t care whether their personal gains result in someone else’s losses.
