MAINTENANCE: When art goes direct baguette

 

For up in the polls, Hollande should take lessons ... music? Although lead can be learned, and this is what provides the Israeli Itay Talgam maestro during his workshops.

Thus he developed a working model based on a gentle exercise of power, opening new avenues for business leaders and policy makers. His method is inspired by his teacher Leonard Bernstein, who far from leading musicians "the wand" could lead them only with his facial expressions. He was able to build a harmonious relationship with his orchestra based on listening, trust and mutual respect. FRANCE 24 met Itay Talgam at the Palais des Papes in Avignon Forum, International meetings of culture in the economy and the media.

FRANCE 24: A good leader, what do you think?

Itay Talgam: I think it's like being a good teacher. When you think about the best way to teach is by showing the way, giving the tracks. It is then up to students to find the answers to appropriate knowledge, a technique, to experience. They say you can not really teach others something new. One can only remind them that they have the answers, how to find them, how to appropriate them. So much for leadership, be it a company or a country, you should know listen to others, teach them to listen to each other, namely the direct ...

FR24: therefore sufficient policy to be tuned to be good leaders?

You'd be surprised how simply listen to other points and make sure they listen to each other solves many problems. To be a good leader, he must certainly have knowledge, be smart, have good ideas, but also be able to put aside what we know to listen what others have to say. A good leader should not seek solution alone in his ivory tower, ignoring the others. It must be able to listen as a conductor, comparing their ideas with those of others.

As a concrete example: the road. You can put radars, harden the law ... But to change the attitude of motorists, it is especially necessary to teach them to play the game of traffic, make them understand why we must follow these rules. When people listen, respect, understand that driving is a social game, and they have every incentive to respect: they play the game together. The solution is there. Instead of imagining big plans, instead of threatening punishment, it may be sufficient just to be more attentive, and so make people more responsible.

FR24: But to lead, do not we also know slicing, make unpopular decisions?

When the house is burning, it is urgent, we did not want to discuss for hours. Then, yes, maybe in an emergency, a leader he or she shows the output, and is expected soon. Although I do not know for sure, but otherwise, the decision must be more "from below", although I do not like this expression! Solutions come from actors in society, that is to say, citizens, businesses, students, etc..

Heads of States, company owners should especially help create platforms, exchange places. Solutions often have just the simple fact of a meeting of views, experiences, histories, personalities ... I know it's a cliché, but it works!

FR 24: Politicians are they receptive to what you propose?

Ah! Policies do not listen enough! (Laughs) I met at the World Economic Forum in Davos, we talk, we exchange, but I do not delude myself. They see me as someone especially distracting.'s Businessmen are more likely however the ear, as you know, in the business world, the results are more easily measured. Either it works or it does not work. And yet, nobody complained

PRICE FOUNDATION Chirac: The doctor Mukwege distinguished for his help women raped in Congo

 

Time approached for the Nobel Peace Prize, Dr. Denis Mukwege distinguished, Thursday, Nov. 21, by the Chirac Foundation for Conflict Prevention. He is rewarded for his efforts on behalf of women victims of sexual assault in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where rape is a weapon of war.

In a dozen years, the Congolese gynecologist made tens of thousands of women raped and sometimes mutilated. Threatened the doctor, considered an iconic figure led against sexual violence in DRC fighting continues his fight. On the occasion of the award ceremony, FRANCE 24 republishing below the story of Johan Bodin and Marc Perelman, who had met in February 2013.

Tirelessly, Denis Mukwege, a Congolese gynecologist, treats, operates, repairs. Women raped and often mutilated. With teams in his hospital in Bukavu, South Kivu, he has treated 40,000 women. Work to the extent of the horror that it faces every day. Over the past fifteen years, it is estimated that half a million women were raped in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Denis Mukwege also know, despite himself, clinically identify the perpetrators. Armed gangs, militias or regular soldiers, which ravage the region of eastern Congo and compete cruelty. Executioners who leave, in the flesh and female belly suppliciées, signing their torture. At machetes, piles, or firearms, rape is a weapon of war.

The doctor carries with it a terrible memory. In October 1996, he was chief physician at the hospital Lemera, in South Kivu. Some came from neighboring Rwanda armed gangs terrorizing the region. The gynecologist hand accompany a Western expatriate who must be removed for health reasons. Their convoy narrowly escapes an attack. The next day, the hospital is attacked, patients and staff killed. These victims still haunt Mukwege.

Barbary

And over the years, the surgeon also saw its return to Children's Hospital of rape. Here, horror is repeated from generation to generation. These girls had been born that have in turn been raped at the age of 3 or 5 years. Barbarity. Denis Mukwege grabbed his dark anger surgeon to carry beyond the borders of his country. Bring the great indignation of the world: UN, European Parliament, France. The doctor took all the forums that have been offered to him.

The doctor refuses trivialization, despite the lack of resources of a Congolese state often conspicuously absent. For despite campaigns to fight against sexual violence, the perpetrators of these crimes can always count on widespread impunity. Today it is not only the men in uniform who commit rape. The spirit of war also infected civilians. The few lawyers who defend the handful of victims who dare complain are paid by foreign NGOs. Military judges of Bukavu, in their building, the roof collapses, must rely on the vehicles of the UN or international support for their investigations.

October 25, Mukwege escaped an assassination attempt at his home. Was it to make it stop? After three months of exile in Belgium, he decided to return to Bukavu, in the hospital, with those women who were assessed for paying her return ticket. We followed.

Since its operation to the nursery children through the dungeons of the police and shelters table, we were faced with some tough stories to bear. But needed to hear.
