8. Negative Values and Attitudes
It is common among people that they do
not mean what they say in their desire to
please people. More often than not, they
do not like to say no. When they are
invited to attend a meeting, they say yes.
But they do not attend and instead make
good excuses.
It has been observed that the main problem is
organization and management.
Who is going to sacrifice his time and effort in
initiating the organization of a cooperative?
Who is encouraged to organized a cooperative
when most of the prospective members are not
even interested to attend the first meeting?
An Excellent Plan and Program
Learning a good lesson from the past, our
new cooperative development program
has been designed to eliminate the
shortcomings of the old cooperative
programs, and to assume a more
meaningful role in social and economic
development.
The Need for Honest and Competent
Managers
Effective management is considered as one
of the main factors of the success of a
cooperative organization.
The most qualified are persons of honesty,
integrity, competence, and above-average
intelligence.
If there are leaders in the community who
will sacrifice their time and labor in
organizing cooperatives, the growth of
cooperatives will be faster.
Duterte reforms in coop sector key to
poverty alleviation
Cooperatives–one of the key to success in agriculture. What will the
administration gain by actively supporting the creation of more cooperatives?
If farmers are getting together, developing a social form of business that relies
on a sense of community, it will lead to competitive farming, mechanization of
farms, the application of the latest technologies, the focus on high-value crops,
the exclusion of the middleman and the creation of effective supply and value
chains.
