Mullaly once said, "Leadership is having a compelling vision, a
comprehensive plan, relentless implementation, and talented people working together". However, in the current situation of Barangay Tigatto, this statement was not observed within the community. Thus, how can they formulate efficient strategies to resolve these issues?
There are different ways to resolve these problems. One of which is for the barangay officials. From the moment that the officials gained their position, the voters entrusted their hands for the common good. As mentioned, a position is not for power. Instead, a position has an equivalent duty and responsibilities to fulfil as they promised in their platforms. Hence, this promise should not give false hopefor the people. Meanwhile, in terms of a concrete plan, the officials may also conduct an assessment in the community to determine which issues are needed to be noticed. In their case, it was stated that the barangay has a poor drainage system. Officials should prioritize resolving this issue as it affects the environment since it causes flood which also has an impact towards the health of the residents when they become infected by the filthy water.
Moreover, the residents may also take part in resolving these issues. First, as a voter, they must choose who deserves to be in a position — a person who listens to his people and make an action. Still, people's participation is needed. Their voice can be an instrument to initiate change. With that being said, even though the government took so long to fix an issue, the time of waiting can be spent in planning on how to eradicate the problem in the community.
Overall, to achieve the essence of leadership, unity must first be achieved. The people and the government officials must all work together to meet the vision and goals of Barangay Tagitto. I believe that a cog would not operate if one does not function. Indeed, the success of the community relies within the hands of each resident. In this extent, the implementation of the strategies can be proved as efficient and effective.
