حين يثار موضوع الفساد تتجه الأنظار إلى التجاوزات المالية والمخالفات القانونية، وغالباً ما تبنى حوله أدوات رقابة ومحاسبة. لكن في عمق المشهد يبرز تحد آخر لا يقل أثراً، بل قد يفوقه خطراً، وهو «سوء الإدارة».
هذا الخطر لا يحدث صدمة فورية كما يفعل الفساد، لكنه يستنزف الإنجاز ببطء، ويراكم الفشل بلا صوت، ويزرع الإحباط في أوصال المؤسسة حتى تنهار دون أن يدرك أحد السبب الحقيقي.
قد لا يكون سوء الإدارة فساداً صريحاً، لكنه ينتج ذات الأثر أو يزيد. يتسلل بهدوء، يمضي في صورة نظامية، يوقّع المعاملات، ويعقد الاجتماعات، لكن النتيجة؛ تأخر في المشاريع، إهدار للموارد، وتراجع في الأداء.
بل الأخطر من ذلك؛ أن سوء الإدارة لا يرصد بسهولة، ولا يعامل بالجدية ذاتها، رغم أنه في كثير من الأحيان يمهد الطريق للفساد، أو يغطي عليه، أو يمنحه بيئة مثالية للتمدد بلا مساءلة.
لسنا بصدد نقد أفراد، بل الإشارة إلى نمط إداري تقليدي يضعف المبادرة، ويدار بمنطق الإجراءات لا بمنطق النتائج. قرارات لا تنبع من رؤية، بل من تكرار، وكفاءات تقصى لا لقصور فيها، بل لأن مقاعد التأثير تمنح لغير أهلها.
وأي إصلاح إداري لن ينجح دون إعادة ضبط بوصلة التمكين؛ فالمناصب القيادية ليست امتيازات، بل مسؤوليات ينبغي أن تسند لأهل الكفاءة، لا لمن يجيد البقاء في الظل.
«رؤية 2030» بقيادة سمو ولي العهد تمثل نقلة في التفكير التنموي. ولتحقيقها، نحتاج إلى إدارة تفهم التغيير وتُحسن قيادته.
وثمة أربعة أمور إذا أردنا تحولاً إدارياً فعالياً؛ هي: إعادة تعريف النجاح: بما تحقق وما أُهمل، تحويل الفشل الإداري إلى مسؤولية قابلة للمساءلة، تقييم مستقل بعيد عن المجاملات، وإسناد المهام للمؤهلين لا للمقرّبين.
ختاماً: سوء الإدارة ليس أقل من الفساد، بل أعمق أثراً، وأخطر على المدى الطويل. ومع «رؤية 2030»، فإن إدارة الكفاءات بوعي لم تعد ترفاً بل واجب وطني.

When the topic of corruption arises, attention turns to financial violations and legal infractions, and often tools for oversight and accountability are built around it. However, at the heart of the scene, another challenge emerges that is no less impactful, and may even pose a greater danger, which is "mismanagement."
This danger does not cause an immediate shock as corruption does, but it slowly drains achievement, silently accumulates failure, and sows frustration within the institution until it collapses without anyone realizing the true cause.
Mismanagement may not be outright corruption, but it produces the same effect or even exacerbates it. It quietly infiltrates, proceeds in a systematic manner, signs transactions, and holds meetings, but the result is delayed projects, wasted resources, and a decline in performance.
Even more dangerously, mismanagement is not easily detected, nor is it treated with the same seriousness, even though it often paves the way for corruption, covers it up, or provides an ideal environment for it to expand without accountability.
We are not here to criticize individuals, but to point out a traditional management pattern that weakens initiative and is governed by procedural logic rather than results-oriented logic. Decisions do not stem from a vision, but from repetition, and competencies are sidelined not due to inadequacy, but because influential positions are granted to those who do not deserve them.
Any administrative reform will not succeed without recalibrating the empowerment compass; leadership positions are not privileges, but responsibilities that should be assigned to those with competence, not to those who excel at staying in the shadows.
"Vision 2030," led by His Highness the Crown Prince, represents a shift in developmental thinking. To achieve it, we need management that understands change and excels at leading it.
There are four things we need for effective administrative transformation: redefining success: based on what has been achieved and what has been neglected, turning administrative failure into a responsibility that can be held accountable, independent evaluation free from flattery, and assigning tasks to the qualified rather than the well-connected.
In conclusion: mismanagement is no less than corruption; it is, in fact, deeper in impact and more dangerous in the long term. With "Vision 2030," managing competencies consciously is no longer a luxury but a national duty.
