Commentary piece describes 'Lighthouse Principle' for leading amid change
Machine summary A Guyana Inquirer commentary outlines a leadership approach it calls the Lighthouse Principle, describing it as clarifying a clear destination rather than controlling every process when circumstances change.

It presents the approach as suited to disruption from artificial intelligence, economic shifts and changing social expectations.
- The commentary was published by News Americas on March 15, 2026, according to the reports.
- The piece describes directional leadership as clarifying the outcome that must be achieved and allowing capable people to determine how to achieve it.
