  3. Citizenship in a RepublicTheodore Roosevelt, born Oct 27, 1858 • It is not the critic who counts; ... The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

  4. Step 1: Realization • Developing infrastructure is a lengthy and trying process • Great enthusiasm and great devotion are required • Errors will be made, remain committed to the path • Development is time and human intensive

  5. Step 2: Investigate • Investigate the best opportunities • Thorough Investigation will provide the confidence in the selected path • Seek insight not only from experts but also from those men and women who have been in the arena • Seek insight from those who have succeeded and failed

  6. Step 3: Evaluate • Evaluate the best projects and FOCUS • FOCUS on a short list of projects that are achievable • Remain FOCUSED

  7. Step 4: Plan • Plan for the success of each project • Work with a partner who has been in the Arena • Jointly agree a budget and schedule including key milestones

  8. Step 5: Action • Enable your project developers to take ACTION • Identify responsible parties and hold them accountable for schedules • Understand delays • Empower an official within the key ministry to be the point person • Choose a young leader, unafraid to Fail • Being in the Arena develops Capacity
