At the dawn of this new era, the emphasis has shifted from the physical and mechanical labor required by the Industrial Revolution to the mental labor needed to sustain the new Information Revoluation. In an organization, the people and minds have become the most precious assets for its development, innovation, and prosperity.

Since the beginning in the fall of 1937, Pepperdine University has experienced remarkable progress and achievement the realm of higher education. The faculty of the University seek to instill not only a will to achieve excellence, but also a spirit of philanthrophy and servanhood. Designed nicely, the Malibu campus of Pepperdine has frequently been described as the most beautiful one in the world. Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) was created as an inspirational medium for academic research and community service under the affirmation and creed of Pepperdine University.*1

"Our greatest credit at Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) is our people -- not facades or fountains, not landsacapes or lakescapes, but people -- faculty, advisory members, administration, and a host of friends," says President Dr. Tony Lei. "On the publications of WBTI through multimedia, locally, nationally, and internationally, we have featured many of our own: U. S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao; Governor of Nevada Kenny Guinn; U. S. Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign; U. S. Representatives James Gibbons and Shelley Berkley; Dr. Andrew Benton; Dr. Charles Runnels; Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt; Chief Federal Judge Lloyd Geroge; Attorney General Brian Sandoval; Justices of the Supreme Court William Maupin and Nancy Becker; Nevada Senator and UNLV Professor of Political Science Dina Titus; District Judges Stewart Bell, Mark Denton, Valorie Vega, Nancy Saitta, Michelle Leavitt, Jessie Walsh, Jennifer Togliatti, and Jackie Glass; Dr. E. Lee Bernick and Dr. G. Keong Leong; Mayor Oscar Goodman, Clark County Commissioner and Chairman Rory Reid; Mayor Michael Montandon, Sheriff of Southern Nevada Bill Young, Justice of the Nevada Supreme Court Michael Douglas, Ms. Wendy Yu-ping Wu, Dr. Feng-wei Lai, Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber, Dr. William N. Thompson; among others (the names are written at random)." *2

"Enriching our research and community service process were made possible by these friends who joined and supported this academic institute. WBTI is really a chain of dedicated individuals who joined to research, serve, support, and to give. We take great pride of our people, including our outstanding faculty. They are some of the best in the world. We are sincere servers to help improve the quality of life of all our residents and visitors of Nevada," expresses heartily Dr. Tony Lei.

"I want to thank you for my recent appointment as an Associate Fellow of the Public Administration Institution by Washington Business and Technology Institute. It is certainly an honor to be acknowledged by you for my commitment to serving this community. I look forward to expanding my public service by working with you and the Institute to continue to better our community. Your dedication is a wonderful example of what others should strive to accomplish," wrote LVSCP Attorney Natalie Tyrrell to Dr. Tony Lei from her Office. "I want to share with you my favoriate quote. It is by the great Winston Churchill. It exemplifies the driving force by which I start out each day. He said: 'We all make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.' Thank you for this honor and the wonderful dinner celebration." Natalie is now a Justice of the Peace of the Clark County Justice Court.

Community participation is an asset for enhancing public service. True leadership comes from knowing when one needs to depend on other's knowledge. Leaders are individuals who help people understand their motivations for doing things. They set the direction and understand why the direction is important. Dr. Tony Lei believes that in education leadership is a call to help others. He has the quality that inspires people to do what needs to be done and to feel good about doing it. Balanced with his outstanding academic expertise, he is a servant of God for community service, sincere and humble but not weak.*3

By loving, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service a part of character and experience the abundant reward that comes from serving others. Let us fan the flame of service in ever-increasing circles. With this, we can envision a community that is safe, peaceful, and healthy. District Judge of the Family Court Cheryl Moss said that, "I've remained dedicated to serving the community, and I've been inspired by the leadership, wisdom, and guidance of WBTI's Prsident Dr. Tony Lei. I recognized that Dr. Tony Lei's accomplishments have demonstrated that taking part in the community with ones kindness and selfless service can contribute excellence as well as make a difference in the society."

One of the important accomplishment of Dr. Tony Lei as a famous Professor of Management is the research and findings on computer education, institutional management, and the art of leading of his three notable books entitled "Information Management", "Business Management", and " Management Behavior". "A good leader should acquire the ability of and execute the following seven management functions: 1. Planning: to plan important task project of this unit; 2. Organizing; to master the organoizational system of this unit; 3. Staffing: to recruit the appropriate staff members; 4. Directing: to direct the people on the staff of this unit; 5. Coodinating: to coordinate the benefits and conflicts of this unit in order to attain sound cooperation; 6. Representing: to reprent this unit in order to coordinate outside concerns and relationships; 7. Budgeting: to establish and control the budget of this unit; 8. Systematizing: to use management information system throuh computers and multimedia for our modern business," says Dr. Tony Lei.

"There are three models of leadership that a good leader, especially the leader of an association, may emphasize: A. Creative Leadership: The leader takes the most importance of holding the great principles to develop the future endeavor of this unit. (1) Sense of Mission -- to make the members not work as a job but high degree of the "concept of value"; (2) Foresightness -- to develop the future blueprint for this unit; (3) Teamwork Spirit -- to motivate the cooperation and success of the whole group; (4) Orientation by Objectives -- to encourage all the members unit put full effort on its clear and definite objectives," continues Dr. Tony Lei.

"B. Humanity Leadership: the leader emphasizes the importance of his or her relationship with the abordinates. He or she motivates their work morality and spirit. Therefore, he or she should understand, emphasize, and hold of humanity in order to promote everyone's potentiality to endeavor for this unit. The key points are: 1. Trust; 2. Delegation of authority; 3. The Second Chance Theory (to pardon your subordinate);
4. Encouragement; 5. Help and Care; 6. Support and Assistance; 7. Training and Education.

"C. Democratic Leadership: The leader respects humanity and allows individual development to make his or her group members cooperate and work by division of labor with self-motion and self-revelation. Its specialties are:

1. The leader endeavors to win followers by himself or herself with good personality and emphasizes knowledge and experience as the foundation of leading. 2. Subordinates have a full opportunity to participate decisionmaking and to suggest good idea. 3. The leader puts attention to the benefit of the subordinates, understand their needs, focuses the importance of the people. 4. The leader gives only some direction on the work planning, and leave the details of the work processing to the subordinates. 5. The leader has full opportunity to participate in employees activities, and they get along with each other very well. 6. The communication between the leader and subordinates is fully in good condition, and they enjoy fruitful accomplishment with good understanding. 7. The division of labor is decided by the group and the subordinates have the right selecting their work accompanists with the direction and coordination of their leader by their side. 8. The leader evaluates the performance of his or her subordinates objectively and renders fair judgement in giving prize or punishment."

"In practically, the effectiveness of the above leadership can be attained by its flexible application in accordance with the right time, place, matter, people, and objective situation, " Dr. Tony Lei points out.*4

"In righteousness you will be established."*5 "In this 21th Century new era and society, we need economic growth, but we also need to establish and promote creativity, fairness and justice, serve and love, educational knowledge, and spirit engineering. We wish that a pure spring may prosper and enrich our splendid and golden country through: the power of public service that based on 'knowledge is the power of righteouness,'; the advancement of technology, entreneurship, and innovation; and the spirit that 'knowledge calls, ultimately, for a life of service'," says Dr. Tony Lei.

"Thank you for my recent appointment as an Associate Fellow of Public Administration and Chairperson of the Community Relations Study Committee of the Washington Business and Technology Institute. It is truly an honor to be a part of this organization, as it plays an important role in identifying, researching, and addressing the issues facing our community.
Your leadership and dedication to the community are to be commended, and I look forward to working with you and the Institute in this new capacity. Thank you again for affording me this opportunity," wrote Councilwoman Lynette McDonald from her Office of the Las Vegas City Council to Dr. Tony Lei.
