A Fictional State… When a State ran like a company

A-Fictional

Arun AroraIn a bustling town somewhere in India, life mirrored the struggles faced by millions across the nation. Frequent power cuts plunged neighbourhoods into darkness, streets swelled with honking vehicles locked in relentless traffic jams, schools battled to keep children engaged, and the sky wore a heavy, grey cloak of pollution.

Everyone knew these problems all too well. Everyone assumed they were just part of life’s fabric – unchangeable. Then, one morning, the State’s leader did something extraordinary. Instead of walking into a typical Cabinet meeting full of politicking and power games, he gathered everyone and declared boldly: “Let’s run this State like a company that delivers results. No vague promises. Just measurable outcomes.”

A radical idea

The room fell silent. The idea sounded radical – too radical, perhaps. Yet it planted a powerful seed. That very day, the Cabinet crafted the State’s first-ever Mission Statement. It wasn’t a slogan, but an explicit, sharp declaration resonating through Government offices – from sprawling cities to the smallest villages: “Every role matters. Every outcome counts. We will serve our citizens like customers – with transparency and accountability.” From that moment on, the Government operated like a well-oiled organisation. Leaders stopped talking vaguely about “better governance” and instead set specific, ambitious goals: v Cut power outages by 20 per cent within two years v Raise school enrolment rates by 15 pc in three years v Slash commute times by a third in major cities.

Every quarter, the leadership team sat down for honest, data-driven conversations. They refused to waste time hunting for excuses. Instead, they asked tough questions
Real commitment

Each target came tagged with a name – a minister, a secretary, or a district official – who owned it personally. These Key Responsibility Areas were not mere buzzwords; they sparked real commitment. For instance, the official in charge of education in a remote district discovered a new purpose. She didn’t just manage paperwork anymore – she led the mission to bring more children into classrooms.

Every quarter, the leadership team sat down for honest, datadriven conversations. They refused to waste time hunting for excuses. Instead, they asked tough questions: What is working? What is not? Where are the roadblocks? Then, armed with facts and feedback, they modified policies and strategies. When grand plans faltered, they pivoted fast. Consider the public transport initiative. Initially, officials envisioned a sprawling network that would cover every inch of the city. But the data revealed a different story – commuters desperately needed frequent bus service along a few crowded corridors. So, the sprawling blueprint gave way to a nimble, high-frequency bus network. The change worked. People noticed. Commutes became smoother.

Open feedback

Yet the true revolution came from embracing open feedback. Citizens voiced complaints; experts, and even political critics, joined the dialogue. They no longer acted as enemies but as partners, helping to refine policies and resolve problems more efficiently.

The Government also took the opportunity to celebrate its champions. Those who surpassed targets earned public praise and new responsibilities. This culture of recognition sparked enthusiasm across Government offices. People felt valued. They aimed higher, pushed harder – not simply fulfilling duties, but exceeding expectations.

The most inspiring change came in recruiting talent. Politics took a backseat. Whether someone belonged to a rival party or openly criticised past administrations, the leadership welcomed the best brains – urban planners, environmentalists, innovators – to lead key projects. This professionalism-first approach unlocked creativity and expertise that politics once stifled.

Focused governance

Slowly but surely, lives improved. Power scenario became reliable. Schools buzzed with students eager to learn. Traffic snarls eased. Crime rate fell. Entrepreneurs found new opportunities. Most importantly, growth reached the marginalised, lifting long-overlooked communities.

The story proves a vital truth: governance can operate with the focus and professionalism of a top corporation. With clear vision, a defined strategy, assigned accountability, regular reviews, flexibility to adapt, and fair rewards; leaders can transform a sluggish bureaucracy into a nimble organisation dedicated to improving everybody’s life, every day. When leaders choose to run states like CEOs, people’s dreams turn to realities. The journey begins with a vision and a commitment to make every role and every outcome count.
