THE hardest part of the work of a leader is to mix with, understand and motivate his staff. This can be tedious, which is one reason why many leaders remain aloof from their staff.

The computer is a marvellous piece of equipment. Previously, moulds for making machinery parts would have to be manually cut. If there was a change in the mould design, then a lot of time would have to be spent making the new mould. But with the modern computer, it is now a breeze to make new designs. The computer would then direct the cutting machine to make the new moulds. No sweat, one would say.
