Many people want it all to themselves. They do not want to make compromises. Such people may be difficult to deal with because they are “I deserve it all type” with a mentality of entitlement. They see no value in sharing or letting go. It is difficult to make friendships and influence people if you lack the art of compromising. One thing I want to make clear is do not to compromise on your values or principles that are ethical or promote compliance. You should compromise for the interests of the team’s success. We live in a world where people…
How important is persistent when working on a target?
They say, “going fast in the wrong direction is useless.” Equally, being persistent on a wrong cause or target will not get you far. To win, first spend time defining your purpose. Our elders say, “if you are given 10 hours to cut down the tree, spend over 7 hours sharpening the axe.” This old wisdom helps us understand the importance of planning before we do anything. Bruce Lee, one of the leading Martial Artist once said, “He does not fear the man who has practiced 100 different fighting styles for 5 years. He fears the man who has practiced…

If you walk around your community especially in big urban centres of Uganda, you will most likely come across an incomplete building that has been there for years. Unoccupied and abandoned yet when you look at the investment at that stage, lots of millions were invested (to buy the land and then construct). Sometimes on a single plot, there will be a couple of such buildings. The obvious reason for such buildings, which are mainly apartments or rentals, is lack of money. The owner either lost a job or didn’t plan properly with the money available when starting. Also, if…
Covid19: A time to change or be forced to change
We are all heading into the future, that is where our thinking should focus on. No one can predict the future with precision. We use historical data to anticipate what will happen. Since pandemics do not have specific characteristics, no one would have predicted when the coronavirus pandemic would happen. It took the world by surprise. No wonder all countries badly affected, with death numbers rising by the day. In the United States alone, the total number of covid19 death is past 50,000! Globally, the death numbers keep rising every other day. That is a huge loss to the world.…
