Management Magazine August 2022
As we got ready for the much-awaited elections in Kenya, the rest of the world celebrated the World Breastfeeding Week between 1st and 7th August. Not to say that Kenyans do not acknowledge it- The ministry of health, led by CS Mutahi had foreseen our pre-occupation with the elections and had chosen to celebrate this week earlier- 1st -7th July. The focus this year was on the links between breastfeeding and good nutrition, food security and reduction of inequalities. This month, therefore, it is only natural that we shine the light on women in leadership as well as matters pertaining the well-being of the female workforce.
In this issue Dr. Doreen Kimathi on our main story gives a twist to the conventional women in leadership story by focusing more on the right attitude for growth rather that the inevitable challenges that women face in career advancement. Also, find out just how much easier life would be for mums if every town had a lactation hub like the one in Chuka Town. Our writer, Steve Ireri paid the hub a visit and has a wonderful story. Mercy Gakii speaks to us about women and finances- flip there to see what the reality on the ground is for women seeking to fund their businesses.
Have you found the place of self-awareness in your leadership and team work? Dr. Sahaya Selvam takes us on a journey of understanding the importance of personality psychology in the workplace as managers and team players. This is a piece you do not want to miss.
If you haven’t experienced the great wildebeest migration, we have the article that gives you a glimpse into what you are missing. In the same breath about nature, read on to see what is happening to the great Congo Forest which serves as an example of what is happening to many of our natural reserves.
As usual, we have for you a collection of articles that speak to your career, personality and surroundings. Head over to the August 2022 issue and enjoy your read!
