شو يعني تكنوقراط و ليه لوحدها ما بتكفي؟ | What are technocratic skills and why are they not enough?
Research Video
This video draws on data from personality research in the Arab world, on principals of work and organizational psychology, and on the concept of competency models to illustrate the hard (technocratic) and soft (fair mindedness, interpersonal competence, national vision, and courage) to illustrate the basic competencies that are needed in a government, particularly one that suffers from corruption, sectarianism and clientilism, such as the case of Lebanon. This video was designed in the early days of the Lebanese Thawra, after citizens started calling for a technocratic government. We believe that technocratic skills alone are not sufficient for better performance, and felt it was important to draw the attention of the public to that.
