The politics and governance is all about policies. Government needs to come up with good policies and need to implement them in a good and timely manner. As in business we refer it to as Time to Market. If you miss the time to market then the impact of policy is low or may be negative as well.
The policy makers needs to do lot of brainstorming and need to be a visionary think tank. But they have so many constraints in terms of people , religion, demography etc that making a policy becomes an uphill task. But yet these people use their knowledge to come up with great policies.
But is a good policy enough? what about the intentions behind the policy. Is this policy is created for mass benefit or is it to benefit only few individuals? A good policy doesn't really means that it can benefit all. But it needs to be in a way that it can benefit many.
Policy paralysis is yet another problem but i will not go in detail about it as now i would like to bring the attention on the intention of these policies. Old people used to say your intention should be right and if your intentions are right, right things will happen. So before coming up with any policy there needs to be a good intention. It needs to become the base of the policy. If the intention of creating the policy were good then the policy will definitely be good. And moreover if intentions were good it will drive the people for implementing the policy.
The people creating policy are also humans, they are bound to do mistakes. we say To err is Human. So don't just criticize if some of their policy does not meet what you were looking for. Look for the intentions behind the policy. But that doesn't mean that poor policy makers needs to be spared, they still need to be replaced with people with good skills as well as good intentions. Intention is what matters.
