Why the Government Managed the Corona Crisis Successfully

SUCCESS IN THE CRISIS MANAGEMENT PROCESS REQUIRES SEVERAL FACTORS, INCLUDING THE CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPETENT ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEM THAT ENABLES THE ORGANIZATION TO IDENTIFY, ANALYZE AND DEVELOP SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS IN COORDINATION WITH COMPETENT COMPETENCIES AND WORK TO MAKE CRISIS PLANNING AN IMPORTANT PART OF STRATEGIC PLANNING.
THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS IS A GLOBAL CRISIS, BUT IN EGYPT IT IS A NATIONAL CRISIS.
WHAT IS THE NATIONAL CRISIS؟!!
THESE ARE DIRECT THREATS AND SUDDEN UNEXPECTED RISKS THAT THREATEN PUBLIC ORDER, PUBLIC SECURITY, AND PUBLIC HEALTH AND ARE A CRISIS (HEALTH / POLITICAL / SOCIAL / ECONOMIC), HENCE IT BECOMES CLEAR TO US THAT THE ELEMENTS OF THE NATIONAL CRISIS(SURPRISE / THREAT/CONTINUITY AND TIME PRESSURE)
THUS, ANY RISKS THAT DO NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE MENTIONED ELEMENTS ARE NOT CONSIDERED A CRISIS, BUT ORDINARY RISKS, DEPENDING ON THEIR SEVERITY AND EFFECTS.
THEREFORE, THE CONCEPT OF CRISIS MANAGEMENT IS A PROCESS OF CONTAINING AND MANAGING SUDDEN RISKS TO PROTECT PUBLIC ORDER, INTERESTS AND PROPERTY, HOW TO FACE RISKS AND SUDDEN SITUATIONS, REDUCE THEIR AGGRAVATION AND QUICKLY CONTROL THEM.
AND WE CAN CONFIRM THAT CRISIS MANAGEMENT IS A SCIENCE AND AN ART
* THEY ARE A SCIENCE BECAUSE THEY DEPEND ON ME (A SET OF PRINCIPLES, LAWS, SYSTEMS, THEORIES, METHODS OF ANALYSIS AND PLANNING).
* IT IS AN ART BECAUSE IT DEPENDS ON ME (PERSONAL TALENT, MANAGERIAL COMPETENCE, INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE SKILLS).
WE ALL HAD TO ADMIT THE EXTENT OF THE PROFESSIONALISM AND PROFESSIONALISM MANAGED BY THE EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT FOR THE CURRENT CORONAVIRUS CRISIS FROM A THERAPEUTIC AND WONDERFUL EFFORT FROM THE HEALTH SYSTEM (DOCTORS, NURSING STAFF, VARIOUS MEDICAL ADMINISTRATION, PHARMACISTS, “SOLDIERS OF THE WHITE ARMY”, A LEADING AND COORDINATING ORGANIZATIONAL WORK TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE UNITS OF THE SECURITY COMMAND “NATIONAL SECURITY”, FOOD SECURITY, THE ARMY, THE COMPANY, VOLUNTARY CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS AND THE MEDIA TO GET OUT OF THE CRISIS WITH MINIMAL LOSSES.
IT IS OBVIOUS TO US THAT THE GOVERNMENT’S PERFORMANCE IN MANAGING THE CRISIS IS A DIFFICULT TEST FOR LEADERSHIP MANAGEMENT, AS LEADERSHIP SKILLS SHOW THE ABILITY TO ACT QUICKLY AND MERITORIOUSLY AND THE ABILITY TO ROTATE THE SHARP CORNERS OF THE CRISIS AND THE PROBLEMS RESULTING FROM IT.WE FIND THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN DECISIVE AND STRICT DECISIONS IN FAVOR OF EGYPTIANS. WE FIND THAT THE RECENT DECISIONS TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING BANNING THE MOVEMENT OF CITIZENS ON MAIN ROADS FROM SEVEN IN THE EVENING TO SIX IN THE MORNING FOR TWO WEEKS, IN ADDITION TO EXTENDING THE PERIOD OF SUSPENSION OF SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES FOR TWO WEEKS.. THE ROLE OF THE ARMED FORCES ,WHO ASSIST ALL SECTORS IN DISINFECTION ,STERILIZATION, VIRUS PREVENTION AND THE PROVISION OF FOOD GOODS, DETERGENTS, STERILIZATION AND DISINFECTION MATERIALS AT APPROPRIATE PRICES TO COUNTER EXPLOITATION, AND THE KEENNESS OF THE POLICE TO APPLY THE MEASURES AND DECISIONS TAKEN, THE CLOSURE OF ALL COMMERCIAL AND CRAFT SHOPS FROM 5 PM TO 6 AM, INCLUDING SHOPS SELLING GOODS AND PROVIDING SERVICES AND COMMERCIAL CENTERS “COMMERCIAL MALLS” DURING WEEKDAYS EXCEPT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, SO THE CLOSURE IS 24 HOURS. STOPPING ALL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MASS TRANSPORTATION FROM 5 PM TO 6 AM AND TAKING SPECIAL MEASURES ON THE SUBWAY TO PREVENT CROWDING OF CITIZENS AND MAINTAIN THEIR SAFETY, AS WELL AS CLOSING ALL SPORTS AND FOLK CLUBS, YOUTH CENTERS, GYMS FOR CAFES, CAFETERIAS, CAFES, CASINOS, CABARETS AND NIGHTCLUBS THROUGHOUT THE REPUBLIC, AS WELL AS SUSPENDING THE PROVISION OF ALL SERVICES PROVIDED BY MINISTRIES AND GOVERNORATES TO CITIZENS SUCH AS REAL ESTATE MONTH SERVICES, CIVIL REGISTRY, TRAFFIC LICENSES, WORK PERMITS AND PASSPORTS, SUSPENDING AIR TRAFFIC FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWO WEEKS, IN ADDITION TO CONTINUING TO WORK IN HOSPITALS, MEDICAL CENTERS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES IN PRESENTING THERAPEUTIC SERVICES, AS WELL AS THE PROCEDURES OF THE CENTRAL BANK CAME THE CENTRAL BANK INSTALLMENTS OF LOANS AND CREDIT CARDS FOR A PERIOD OF 6 MONTHS DUE TO THE “CORONA”, AND THE CANCELLATION OF FEES AND COMMISSIONS APPLICABLE TO POS FEES AND WITHDRAWALS FROM ATMS AND ELECTRONIC WALLETS FOR A PERIOD OF 6 MONTHS TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY CREDIT LIMITS TO FINANCE WORKING CAPITAL, ESPECIALLY THE DISBURSEMENT OF SALARIES OF EMPLOYEES OF COMPANIES AND ALSO THE EGYPTIAN POST THE CONTINUATION OF THE DISBURSEMENT OF SALARIES AND PENSIONS FROM POST OFFICES.
CRISIS MANAGEMENT REQUIRES REAL LEADERSHIP ABILITIES CHARACTERIZED BY COURAGE, HONESTY, COMMITMENT AND THE ABILITY TO ACT PROFESSIONALLY TO REACH SAFETY.
FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW, WE FIND THAT THE SLOGAN OF STAY AT HOME IS THE TREND OF THE HOUR, ACCORDING TO WHICH WE AVOID THE OUTBREAK OF DISEASE AND INJURIES AND FIND THE WISE POLICY OF THE EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT IN ITS INTERACTION WITH THE CRISIS TO IMMUNIZE THE ENTITY AND QUALIFY THE STATE AND RAISE ITS IMMUNITY TO NEW CRISES, AND DRAW LESSONS AND LESSONS THAT WE MUST MASTER TO LEARN TO AVOID THE RECURRENCE OF CRISES IN THE FUTURE.
