Your MP's Question of the Week #28

Making public statements whether to promote a product or to further a cause is an art. It is also a job best left to a capable person who is responsible and one who also does not harbour a personal interest in making oneself popular and famous in the process.

This is so because it had been proven time and again that when the ego gets in the way of the message and the final objective of the product or cause, many things can go awfully wrong.

For instance, one, the compelling message that had been diligently developed out of a sound strategy could lose focus and therefore cause confusion. Two, diverging follow-up statements could be made too close in their frequency from one to the other to the public that credibility may creep in. Three, the ‘fix-as-we-go’ mishandling of the promise of the campaign could create public frustration and lose support, killing the campaign entirely.

The question for this week then is:

Should public statements in any campaign for a strong cause be the paramount responsibility of the leader of an organization who is proven and selfless and who can be ethically counted on to deliver the message with authority, consistency and credibility at all times to ensure the campaign’s success?

Soalan Mingguan Wakil Rakyat Anda ke–28

Membuat kenyataan umum untuk memupuk sokongan terhadap sesuatu hasil atau usaha sebenarnya bukan mudah dan memerlukan tahap kemahiran yang tinggi. Ini adalah kerja yang patut diuruskan oleh orang yang berkemampuan dan tidak mempunyai kepentingan diri iaitu ingin mencipta nama untuk dirinya sendiri semasa menjalankan kerja ini.

Ini adalah kerana sudah banyak kali dibuktikan bahawa apabila apabila orang yang menjalankan kerja ini membiarkan egonya mempengaruhi utusannya maka segala usahanya akan gagal mencapai matlamat asasnya.

Umpamanya, pertama; utusan penting yang dihasilkan daripada strategi yang kukuh akan hilang tumpuannya dan mewujudkan kekeliruan. Kedua, kenyataan-kenyataan susulan yang saling bercanggah sering timbul dan menghakiskan kepercayaan umum. Ketiga pendekataan “sambil membaiki sambil pelaksanaan” dalam usaha memenuhi janji kepada para umum akan mewujudkan kekecewaan dan kehilangan sokongan serta melumpuhkan usaha ini sama sekali.

Soalan minggu ini:

Patutkah perbuatan mengeluarkan kenyataan umum untuk sebarang usaha adalah tanggungjawab yang diserahkan kepada ketua sesuatu perbadanan yang terbukti kemampuannya dan tidak mementingkan diri dan boleh diharapkan untuk melaksanakan kenyataan tersebut dengan penuh ketegasan dan boleh dipercayai sepanjang masa untuk memastikan kejayaan usaha tersebut?
