In
the last days, in different meetings, I was told twice by senior officers and
seasoned civil servants that the current crop of Western leaders do not listen
to advice. They tend to have pre-conceived responses to key issues and
therefore opt for directing their subordinates, without listening their views,
without taking into account their experience. This creates a lot of frustration
in the senior levels of the public service. It is also a contributing factor to
the poor commitment we find in many civil administrations.
