MERITOCRACY - Recipe against BRAIN DRAIN
We aim to be a society governed by people selected according to merit.
The right to express their opinions is given to everyone in a meritocracy. Those opinions are valued and decisions are then made based on those that are deemed the best.
meritocracy vs democracy
- in democracy everyone has a vot - decision by consensus
- in meritocracy everyone does have a voice, some are listened to more than others.
There are many ways to build a meritocracy in your organization:
- empower the leaders (either managers or leaders who have gained influence over time from their contributions and results and have influence over the direction of others);
- foster passion across the organization (direct people towards a path that will enable them to follow their passion);
- encourage a culture of listening (By promoting listening we can ensure that the best ideas emerge).
But what happens when meritocracy is not considered or is replaced by parentocracy? Brain drain is happening!
Brain drain undermines a country's human resource development, which is critical for competitiveness of goods, works and services.
Tech and medical brain drain, particularly, is a big problem for many developing as well as developed countries.
It is the task of the state and private employers to find leverage to facilitate the promotion of meritocratic systems, like:
- addressing the financial incentives for this category of people;
- government jobs should be awarded on the basis of merit through competitive exams, rather than ties to politicians or political affiliation;
- preventing corruption and favoritism.

What is a Parentocracy? I've never heard of that before.
It seems that Steem and other Ethereum-esque projects may be the beginning of realizing a real meritocracy. Could you imagine such a world? I try, but I honestly don't think we could really have any idea what it would be like.
Great post. Yes, it's unfortunate that many Governments do not want people to think for themselves, they want control over everything including our minds. It's very counter - productive, and they will fail.
Ahhh Aristocracy vs Kakistocracy
To bad we have only ever tried kakistocracy
Lol good

Very good this publication! @dioneaguiar
Hi @hebro.
Two questions for you:
why do you consider the technology and medical working classes to be those who deserve more merit?
Do you think that government is currently the right size, too small or too large?
Id say this:
Technology drives innovation and industry. Government is WAY TOO BIG.
Technology can drive innovation and industry if handled by the right individuals in the correct way. I agree that government is currently too big.
I don't know if they are reprezentativ or not but for sure these domanis are very hard to train. About the govrnment, this is never the right size!

It is a novel idea, and yet one mans merit will always be another's demerit. I agree that within organizations working towards a common goal it is better to seek the leaders who can effectively influence others rather then democratically voting, though it stands to reason that influence towards being voted for is what sets the elected leader in place. Else you are using a single judge of merit to appoint or self appointment by a self proclaimed leader.
