A state known for the residence of major drug dealers in it, and the spread of the effects of their competition and conflicts among its suburbs, which constantly tarnished its reputation when talking about the best global destinations for living, investment and tourism, despite its ingredients that put it at the forefront of global destinations, and despite the attempts of the security services to limit the spread of drug trafficking. Drugs, but these gangs, as is well known, sometimes exceed state agencies in strength and influence.
Finally, the state elected its new governor, who decided to solve the dilemma in a new way, according to a long-term strategic plan. He set his sights on one of the most powerful gangs, trying to get close to its leader, deluding him with his corruption, his greed for money, and his willingness to help that gang in its trade in exchange for an appropriate commission. And this was actually done, and gradually, so that their cooperation eventually resulted in the drug dealer’s confidence in the ruler, which made him move his plan to the second stage, despite his senior advisors’ reservations about the principle of the matter, as everyone noticed the ruler’s preoccupation with the drug issue from developing the affairs and other sectors of the state, but he He continued to move forward with his plan as a solution to the “mother of problems”, and everything without it would be easy, as he described it!
As for the second stage of the plan, it was convincing the drug dealer of the possibility of doubling the profits, if he got rid of his competitors, other dealers in the region, which is something that the state agencies cannot do alone, but together they may achieve that goal! The dealer was convinced, and began to reveal some common secrets between the gangs, and directed his forces to confront his counterparts drug dealers, so that he could, with the help of the police, catch most of them, until there was no known drug dealer in the area except him, so he was undoubtedly a prey for the police who managed him with ease, and the ruler’s strategy succeeded. !
The success of the ruler in this mission is due to his long-term strategy, which resulted in reaching the desired goal, and examples of many similar plans, which came to my mind, including the experience of “Lee Kuan Yew,” the builder of Singapore, who is known for rescuing his country during its independence from an island that includes a mixture of vulnerable immigrants to One of the best countries in the region, thanks to his strategic plans spanning more than 30 years, the result of which was the Singapore we know today.
Undoubtedly, plans alone are not enough, as they remain ink on paper, or presentation models in closed computers, until those who are qualified for them, such as a successful leader or a prominent official, translate them. The lesson is in the perfection of implementation, not just planning, and the daily details remain the challenge. The most prominent of these ambitious plans drawn on a large scale, where dreamers usually neglect the current situation as an exceptional period that should not be taken into account, thus devoting most of their time, attention and investment in the future that they draw.
During my visit to an Arab country years ago, I asked one of them about the plans of their new president, and he said that he seeks to extract the country from what it is in, develops its infrastructure of bridges, tunnels, and streets, and builds schools, hospitals, and public facilities. We hardly gather the sustenance of our day, and we do not know if we will live until we see that future!
This reminded me of the sequel to the story of the ruler, the warrior of drug dealers, as it was said that during his preoccupation with fighting drugs, he neglected many economic and social projects and infrastructure, and the rates of thefts, crimes and corruption increased due to the focus of senior police officers at the time on the big issue they were working on, which was His advisors constantly warn of him, and this also angered the people who considered him one of the worst rulers of the state in decades, and as soon as the next elections came, the poor man suffered a great loss that made him lose his seat and his reputation among the people, despite his great achievement and sincerity in his work!
It is not easy to implement a plan at a high level without persuading those around you with it.. This is self-evident, but someone may say that some of these attempts at persuasion may take time and effort without significant results. Every group consists of two or more people, in which you will find disagreement, even in the smallest details. And paying attention to it will make the 100-day plan extend to 1,000 days or more!
Here, the role and thought of the leader and his talent in managing matters in his own way emerges. Even the builder of Singapore, despite the advantages of his stage, his period included a lot of gossip, such as his harsh treatment of his political opponents and others, on the grounds of the need to establish the rule of law and establish stability.
It was said.. be convinced of what you want, and act as what others want!
