Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease, So who is the real culprit?

[Scroll above title-link to Pg 6]

"The average weekly number of cases is 162 but an increasing trend has been observed. Last week, 314 cases were reported. Majority of these suffered mild illness and did not require hospitalisation."

I am stumped!!! Why is it we do not take the 'teacher' out of the CEO!!

"There are sadistic scientists who hurry to hunt down errors instead of establishing the truth."
- Marie Curie

There is a part of the world that believes that the ONLY way to helps someone do things in ways that he is not used to, is to 'show' what he has done wrong (like the teacher who marks a 'X' on our answer sheets).

This perspective raises several questions for me particularly in the world of corporations!

What if 'the teacher' was taken out of the CEOs? What would it look like if the CEO did not do that? What would the world of corporations look like if they were led by CEOs who know what they might do differently? Is that a world we can desire to be in? What would the CEO be doing? Not be doing? If we are not able to conceive another reality, what is holding us back from creating such a world for us? Why so? What needs to happen to bring about such a reality to bear?
