By Tiffany Chang

"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. Lei points out.*1

"In righteousness you will be established."*2 "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. Lei.

WBTI has reported continuously the accomplishment and advancement of the member of its faculty and advisory board through publications and multimedia across Las Vegas, Nevada, California, New York, Hawaii, Washington D.

WBTI's greatest credit is its people
By Tiffany Chang

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 oue 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; Nevada Controller Kathy Augustine; 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, Michelle Leavitt, Jessie Walsh, Jennifer Togliatti, and Jackie Glass; Dr. E. Lee Bernick and Dr. Keong Leong; Clark County Commissioner Rory Reid; Sheriff of Southern Nevada William Young; among others.*2

"Enriching our research and community service process were made possible by these friends who joined nad supported this academic institute. WBTI is really a chain of dedicated individuals who joined to reach, 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.

"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 wonder ful 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. Lei believe 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 once said that she has remained dedicated to serving the community, and she has been inspired by the leadership, wisdom, and guidance of WBTI's Prsident Dr. Tony Lei. The Judge has recognized that Dr. Tony Lei's accomplishments have demonstrated that taking part in the community with his 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 "Informaation 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 mast the organoizational system of this unit; 3. Staffing: to recruit the appropriate staff members; 4. Directing: to direc the people on the staff of this unit; 5.

"There are hree models of leadership tha a good leader, especially the leader of an association, may emphasize: A. Creattttttive Leadership: The leader takes the most importance of holding the great principles to develop the futue 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) Foresigthness -- to develop the futue 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.

Some valuable skills for people to have a more successful and happy life
By Tiffany Chang

It is a general understanding that: If we are able to excel in a particular field of professional career, we will definitely have a better chance of gaining a foothold into society. Outstanding professional accomplishments enhanced with good community service is a practical and sincere way for us to integrate into American society and win the recognition by our mainsteam society and American people.*1

In this generation and society, we need economic compassion, in service above self, and in action of love and moral courage. Some people are of the "tell me what you wear, tell me what kind of car you drive, tell me what cards you carry, and I'll tell you who you are" culture. What do the people we admire have in common? These individuals have faith, respect and love, unabashed love. Love always transcends self. In its purest form, love is unconditional and an appreciation. The Greeks had a saying: People are known by the heroes they crown." Tell me whom you admire, and I will tell you who you are. Your choice of heroes reveals your personal traits.

"By the act of love itself, we are enriched. Love in action is service above self. Make service part of our characters and experience the abundanr rewards that come from serving others. Let our heroes be the great servants who have given all for the bettement of other's lives, Let our candle fuel a fire that will fan out an ever-increasing circles. With these circles together we can close our eyes and evision a community that is safe, peaceful, and healthy. This is why I used to pointed out that, knowledge calls, ultimately, a life of service," says Dr. Tony Lei, President of Washington Business and Technology Institute.*2

We can work alongside each other. We can absorb each other's energy and discipline and commitment to inspire us and motivate us. Service beyond self is love in action. This is our creed and our calling. We stumble and splinter when we forget that goal. We unite and prosper when we remember it.

There are three major drives pushing and pulling us into the 21st century. (1) The neccessity and speed of change: Change is unavoidable for improement and innovation. Most of the change we face are permanent, pervasive, and profound. It is permanent, because few of us would want to uninvent microchip, to use a train instead of an airline as a business transportation from Los Angeles to New York, or abandon the medical advances that have extended and enhanced our lives. It is pervasive because the information highway has change our lives. Few parts of the way we live and work have escaped the effects of change. It is profound because we must reassess the sharing of our planet's resources. As individuals, we must reassess our values, ideals, and prejudices. As associations we must have effective actions to decrase the force of resistance-to-change successfully.

(2) Emphases of partnerships and alliances. Highly successful organizations have become circliar instead of flat. Each function is a link in a chain whose strength depends on the whole. Each is an alliance or partner with all the others. We need strong, supportive alliances because we need quick access to resources whether they are human, informational, financial, or material by nature.

(3) Member service to member focus: One of the important purposes of an association is all about having satisfied, happy, loyal, referral-bearing members. Our members' success is our success. We should put attention to the thre areas of members focus. The first one is member servicing, which is the operations part that we should do the task well. The second one is member relations, which is the human part that we may be better to have the one-on-one actions. The third one is member development which is the coordinating and retention part that brings satisfaction to every activity.
There are two principles at the heart of the positive thinking road map. (A) the first principle is truth in thinking uncover and eliminate self-limiting belief and attitudes. We need to establish "truth in thinking" by focusing on the facts and avoiding negative self-talk. Challenge our unrealistic belief by reorienting them in a more realistic, positive manner. We will think, feel, and act more confidently, thereby increasing the likehood for success.

(B) The second principle is the 12 positive thinking traits. "The following are 12 traits that characterize a positive thinker: (1) Optimism (2) Enthusiam (3) Belief (4) Intelligence (5) Courage (6) Integrity (7) Confidence (8) Judgement (9) Persistence (10) Liveliness (11) Vision (12) Desire to excel. Each traits, when leveraged properly, produces powerful results to achieve our goals. These traits, when diligently and wisely applied together with the truth in thinking, allow us to overcome obstacles and challenges in a positive manner in our lives for accomplishment," Dr. Tony Lei points out.

"Develop a clear vision of our prefered future, then get focused on key activities and efforts that take us in that direction. We shall see performance gains, achieve our goal and have a happier, more successful life. By pursuing our own personal strategic plans with love and service, we will increase our energies, motivations, satisfactions, happiness, and the worthy value of our lives," he continues.*3

"Because of his sincere and effective work performance in community service beside his academic endeavor, Dr. Tony Lei has received many important awards for his outstanding asccomplishments from U. S. Senators, U. S. Representatives, Las Vegas Mayor, Clark County Chairman, among others. It is significant that Dr. Kenny Guinn wrote Dr. Tony Lei: 'It is only with the dedication and commitment of good people like yourself that I will achieve my goal of becoming Governor of this great state. Dema and I can't thak you enough for your assistant and your positive activeties in the community,'" Lillian and Julian Wallace wrote a feature article entitled "We Prodly Present to You Two of the Dearest People in the World -- Dr. and Mrs. Tony T. Lei" At the time, Lillian was President of Senior United, while Julian is its CEO. The article was published by the famous "Hights Magazine" on October, 1999.*4 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
