Do you agree with three power: 1- Hard power, 2- Soft power and 3- Smart power.? Tell me more about Public Diplomacy?

The Public Diplomacy’s three kinds of power:1- Hard power = Army and Economy( Your target audiences take part by fear or interest)2- Soft power = Communicate, dialogue, Persuade and convince (Your target audiences take part by conviction)3- Smart power = By using Hard & Soft power depending on the circumstances and this will combine effect, by make it super power and that’s why it’s known as the smart one ( your target audiences take part by conviction but know that you dialogue because you are kind, also you have his interest and you can be dangerous if necessary) NB: They use this approach for a country but we can also use it for profit or non-for-profit organization and even we can start it from ourselves. Ex: What’s Chehou’s hard power? What’s Chehou’s soft power? Is Chehou using the both on circumstance? (Smart power) . So you what do you say?

I believe in Smart Power. I am always open for a dialogue and try to convince people in a diplomatic way and in between I would try to add fear factor so that the other person doesn't take it lightly.

Three types of diplomatic power: 1. Hard power = army and economy (your target audience is part of fear or interest) 2. Soft power = communication, dialogue, persuasion and persuasion (target audience engages in conviction) 3. Smart energy = (Target audiences aim at part of the conviction but you know you are interacting because you are cute and you also have an interest and can be dangerous if necessary) Note: Use this approach for a country but We can also use it from Profit organization or even a nonprofit organization we can start from ourselves. Example: What is the hard power of Shaho? What is the power of soft Shaho? Does Cheho use both envelopes? (Smart power)

Smart power; more work with less energy consuming. 1st step is to judge the nature of work, second is to know about the requirement of the work, then start the work. and finish with a good result.

Thank you for your invite. In my dictionary the power that gives returns to my organisation and delivers that the role is accountable for is the right power to adopt. Hope you can relate my suggestion with various powers that you may have acquired over the period of time through education and experience. At the end of the day organisation must be able to sell enough to generate revenue to, innovate for sustainance,  pay off salaries and retain some profits after meeting all the costs. It is therefore nature of business that would guide you to the power that can applied to achieve organisation goals.

Personnally i  agree with Soft Power because it's the most respectable methods for the human being and it is a reflection of our level of education and flexibility to work in team and in our life in general.

Also hard power damaged the relation between people because existe superior hard power of any hard power and it will be a negative competition but if we use soft power it will be positive competition and everybody will try to be more and more honest with others

Hi transactions are always subject to the principles of high, especially among human beings and most of the optimal solutions to these forces (evil and good to exterminate others) are mergers and acquisitions with others because genocide generates gaps  Darkness is similar to extermination programs and often is often fought for the whole creatures become life guarded her way from them

I do not believe in any of those powers but in the one that bornsfrom the heart of men and is pure, from the Good Will and NOT theWillpower.Bear in mind that: "common sense is the least common of the senses".When a human being puts his mind at the service of his heart, things will undoubtedly work as they should.
