Action: What will the emerging government in Iraq have to do to become legitimate? What must a legitimate government do to create status and function for Iraqis? Peter F. Drucker
Again, I suggest that you buy a copy of this book The Daily Drucker: 366 Days of Insight and Motivation for Getting the Right Things Done by Peter F. Drucker in order to get the full benefit of Dr. Drucker's wisdom on this topic.
Social function for the individual and legitimate power are the keys to Dr. Drucker's thinking on this topic. So, ideally, one can approach an answer to his Action call. Across the divides, create the ability for the individual to succeed (in business or other social function), and put in place the institutional structure which makes that possible, continuously.
And, I suppose this is, theoretically the way to a solution for Iraq. I am skeptical though. I do not believe that the three 'divides' will ever, authentically form an agreement to cooperate in order to put in place such an equitable social and power structure. The Kurds, the Shia, and the Sunni communities (let alone the Baathist sub group), are in my view destined to continue on separate paths. I don't believe that any-one from the inside will have the power to authentically and legitimately change that dynamic for this 'country', artificially thrown together by Western Hegemonists in their day. Call me a pessimist.
With respect to businesses, I think Prof. Drucker's thinking also works... Provide the institutional framework, so that promotion (future wealth building) opportunities are available to all, no matter the gender, race, religion or location of each worker, and run the business in a way so that financial and consuming markets legitimize your existence through cash flow.
