Dear Editor,
Very rarely do we find individuals showing deep regard for their neighbours, especially in pursuit of their own personal agenda. Their goals may take them away from their own environment into another sphere of interest and engagement. Many are much too busy looking about their own personal goals to the extent where they forget about those around them.
Therefore, it is indeed refreshing that National Commercial Bank Chairman Michael Lee-Chin has appealed to investors to put their sights on Jamaica to show the world the level of confidence that they have in their country. Of course, he could have taken the decisions like his counterparts elsewhere to disregard the existence of others around them. But this is not to be.
Lee-Chin has made the right move in the face of a general election. Many Jamaicans are tired of major conflicts in the height of a general election. It is a new style of engagement which is welcoming. He has appealed to investors to do the right thing and show how much they care about The Rock.
It may be very difficult for many to consider, given the nature of the country in which we all reside. There are those who are primarily interested in what they can do to enrich themselves, their families and friends. However, Lee-Chin is demonstrating what difference we can bring to the table once we recognise our goals and moreso those of others among us.
His call for a change in how we approach businesses to achieve success should be answered. Gladly, he sees it fit to share his knowledge and experience of strategies equalling 99 per cent, and one per cent execution. Private sector leaders need to follow his lead and jump to action to create solutions and not dwell on complaints about the market, politicians and low growth. We should all, like him, step up to the plate and open the corridors for others to thrive and survive.
