Why Some Men Hate Working For Female Bosses.

Posted: 03 Jun 2011 08:17 AM PDT

By Speider Schneider From Ask-men.com As far as we have come in equality of the sexes, it is still almost impossible for men and women to work together. Case in point: I recently met a newly jobless friend for lunch to cheer him up and relay some stories that would make his dismissal from his current position a bit more hopeful. He is a very sharp creative type with an eye toward the future and pushing the envelope. He is hardworking and a no-nonsense guy. He was doomed from the start. We sat down, and he told me the problems he faced. So It's Not Just Me "I just rubbed some of the people who have been there so long the wrong way." He is very humble, and I knew the entire reason needed to be pulled out of him. "Some people found you curt or you didn't involve them enough in decisions?" I asked, having worked with him and seen the internal politics just enough to see the red flags.


Airtel Kenya Cuts On Expatriate Staff.

Posted: 03 Jun 2011 06:47 AM PDT

By Okuttah Mark Mobile phone company Airtel Kenya has cut the number of expatriate staff at the management level by half in the past nine months, giving locals more room to be involved in the daily running of the company. The changes show a tactical shift from the approach by previous owner – Zain — whose tenure was marked by frequent changes at the management level. The frequent changes were cited by research analysts at Citigroup as the firm's main undoing over the years. Airtel has replaced four expatriate staff with Kenyans in the past nine months increasing their number at the management suite to nine out of 12, with the appointment of Ms Irene Kitinya as its new Human Resource Director being the latest. Airtel Kenya managing director Rene Meza said the recent high level appointment of Kenyans "demonstrates the company's belief in Kenya, its people and the opportunity it offers for multinational business partnerships." "We are fortunate to have attracted some of the best talent available locally," he said. The latest statistics from the industry regulator Communication Commission of Kenya shows that Airtel Kenya increased its market share to 13.5 per cent from 9.1 per cent in the past eight months. A recent report on the industry prepared by the Prime Minister's office said all the mobile phone operators, except Safaricom, were making losses. Stable management and innovative products such as money transfer service M-Pesa and per second billing are seen as the main strengths of its rival, Safaricom, that currently controls 75.9 per cent of the market share having dropped from 80.7 per cent due to aggressive competition from Airtel and Telkom Kenya's Orange that has four per cent of the market share from the previous 2.7 per cent. "Underinvestment by Zain, plus frequent management changes resulting in market share losses means that a focused strategy will itself help to reverse some of the market share losses," says Citigroup in a report, adding: "Bharti has tried to more or less keep management stable and in addition the operational changes being undertaken also primarily involves the locals." Muriuki Mureithi, a telecoms industry analyst and chief executive of Summit Strategies, says Airtel's new strategy would help to cut employee costs as locals are not likely to have perks such as foreign travel or holiday as in the case of expatriates. Mr Mureithi also says that the Indian firm could be aiming at changing the perception that it is a foreign company.
