Hands-on leadership in Thailand
It would be nice to see this kind of accountability from Washington. Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej, expanding on a cloud-seeding technique he patented in 2002, will personally oversee the use of two aircraft to seed warm and cold clouds at different altitudes. Southeast Asia has been pretty dry since January, but the drought in Thailand is especially bad.
His Majesty was born in the same hospital where I once had an MRI scan, and his biography says he has applied MBWA (management by walking around) to a whole country: "traveling throughout the year to the provinces and rural areas of the kingdom to visit his people, talk to them and, perhaps even more important, listen to them. He learns first hand of their needs and their problems and then sets about trying to find a way of giving immediate help; later these problems are studied in depth to find a permanent solution or way of assistance." No word if the villagers he listens to have been pre-screened or provided with scripts.
