The great king

Once upon a time, the reputation, splendor, and authority of a kingdom and its king grows with respect to how well the private life of the king especially his family is faring. ‘How well’ is defined using many yardsticks and standards namely:

(1)   The children behavior;

(2)   Their respect for elders;

(3)   Their measure of self-worth;

(4)   Maturity in speech and presentation;

(5)   Maturity in social and marital relationships;

(6)   Intellectual capabilities and ease at which they learn and advance in the kingdom system;

(7)   Ease at which they learn foreign languages;

(8)   Commitment and love for citizens and kingdom affairs etc.

The judges are men of reputation who will never bow to any pressure and influence. Each of which is selected from the different kingdoms whose kings are to be assessed. The head of the jury is believed to be a special deity who will never tolerate any form of preferential treatment or partiality. Whoever tries such is punishable by death even before he takes action to avert justice.

Here are some tidbits an elder told me in building an enduring great company:

(1)   You must create a system to measure how well your company is performing in the economy relative to other high performing companies in your industry;

(2)   The measuring system created must be true to the overriding situation in the industry/economy and not blindfolded by the company’s status quo;

(3)   The Key Performance Indicators must be both tactical and strategic, operational and financial and they should effectively capture the moment while equally forecasting the future;

(4)   What you cannot measure you cannot monitor;

(5)   Inputs and efforts must be such as to control the dynamics of events according to results of measurements in order to monitor and spur growth so as to achieve set goals.

Until next time when we shall continue with our story, don’t forget to always rule your world.
