A political leader’s decision to shift from a capital model to a revenue model can have far-reaching consequences for society, their party and followers. The capital model often focuses on corruption for accumulating wealth and resources. Those who come into politics even with large capital also may get them drained on one sided spending and eventually forced to get into corrupt practices.
Most of the time we see politicians leave all their professions and revenue models to get into fulltime politics. They slowly and silently get into corrupt practices for their own existence and survival in politics and life. Most of them, as we analyse today’s scenario, prioritizes short-term gains over long-term sustainability.
In contrast, building Revenue Models will help politicians to lead a value based political practice throughout their career and even afterwards. We should give the priority and emphasize in generating revenue through sustainable practices. There are plenty of issues that can be converted into revenue models.
All that we should understand is the fundamental principle that nothing including charity initiatives work without proper revenue models. We can make everything feasible and possible with an open and transparent approach. First of all, can we come out of the attitude of the cat that drinks milk by closing its eyes? The cat is thinking as if no one is seeing it since it has closed its eyes.
People are watching you for several years by now. All of them already have made opinions about you. What we need to do is to prove ourselves for our own values, happiness and satisfaction. Value those who value you and make your plans in concurrence with some of them. Involve few of them in the initiatives. Create an equitable distribution of resources generated from the revenue models.
Making powerful and expansive Revenue Models:
Cooking tasty food items require suitable ingredients and viable environment. In the same way, creating revenue models require appropriate ingredients and viable environment. Selling ice to Eskimos is a tough task. Never do it. Check what works were and take up the most comfortable area to work with.
People, Space, Time and Purpose are the main ingredients for making a revenue model. Purpose make things more clear. Take one of the most challenging issue in the society and see it as a possibility instead of seeing it a problem.
By making this shift, a political leader can foster a more inclusive and resilient system that will make his circle of excellence expanding faster and better. This is an attitudinal shift. Ask suggestions form the people who come to you with a problem. Bring out options and give them choices to address the problem. They are coming to you since they cannot solve it by themselves. Take it an opportunity to apply your skills and time and to convert them into economic results.
Appreciative Inquiry (AI) principles and Imagine Chicago Model:
Appreciative Inquiry (AI) principles offer a powerful framework for facilitating this shift. AI involves identifying and building on existing strengths and positive experiences, rather than solely focusing on problems and deficits. By applying AI principles, a political leader can engage stakeholders in a collaborative process of discovery and innovation, uncovering new opportunities for revenue generation and sustainable growth. This approach can help build trust, foster creativity, and unleash collective potential. Take up things in small scale first.
The Imagine Chicago model provides a compelling example of how AI principles can be applied in practice. Imagine Chicago was a city-wide initiative that brought together citizens, organizations, and government agencies to envision and create a more sustainable, equitable future. By using AI principles to amplify positive possibilities and build on existing strengths, the initiative was able to generate innovative solutions, mobilize community engagement, and create lasting impact. A political leader who adopts a similar approach, combining AI principles with a revenue model, can make a meaningful difference in the lives of citizens and create a more prosperous, resilient society.
