| Winning in an interview – The tone of the voice. Posted: 22 Jun 2011 02:57 PM PDT
Have you heard a person complain about not liking the tone of one's speech? Are there people you talk to and can compliment you but you can easily take it the wrong way because of their tone? Have you ever taken time to listen to the tone of your speech? In my practice, I have heard many interviewers complain of an interviewee being rude. But if you investigate, it is the tone of their speech and well they didn't intend to be rude. You need to know that an interview is similar in a way to a tune. The lyrics are the content of the interviewee’s responses and the music is the tone of voice used. Certain songs may have an optimistic empowering effect or contrarily may be melancholy and blue.

| Man made money, money made man mad. Posted: 22 Jun 2011 02:56 PM PDT By FRANK NJENGA Those who drink alcohol know that at a certain point one becomes drunk and in that state he is unable to recognize the fact that he has taken too much and continues to ask the bar man for more beer. It is only later, when one wakes up from the drunken slumber of alcohol that he is confronted by a fuming spouse, pounding headache and evidence of dangerous driving showing in his damaged car.

How do you resign from your job graciously? We tell you how… You know you're in trouble if you've even thought about saying the words, "I'm tendering my resignation." Some candidates give notice for the simple reason that they have accepted another job and now must do the painful (hence "tender") part of letting a boss they might admire or even love know that they are abandoning ship. These folks I can help, but I can't help you if the reason you are giving notice is to get the lost attention of your boss. Don't feel bad. I've done it. Not in business, but in my personal life. I sit you down over an expensive dinner at a fabulous and romantic restaurant to tell you I am breaking up with you. I am moving on. I am tendering my resignation to you as my girlfriend. But my goal is not to break up. My Goal is to modify your behavior, to get you to see I'm not happy and send an unmistakable (and dramatic) message that you could lose me. If that's why you're giving notice, I'm sorry to tell you that like my girlfriends, who (after I pay) would call my bluff, your boss can see this coming. He will hear you out, he will feign surprise, he will wish you well if you must leave, but is sorry to see you go since he had so many plans for you (plans that he up to now has failed to ever mention). And you stay. Mollified. Shame on you. You want love, buy a dog.
2.Say "I am quitting…" in the first 30 seconds. Not "I am thinking about" or "I've had some interviews," and for god's sake never start with, eyes glistening, "this is the hardest thing I have ever had to do." These phrases send the "message" to your boss that you want to stay. 3.This is NOT an Exit Interview. This is the delivery of key information. It should take no more than 5 minutes (even at high levels). When they bring out a cake on your last day's lunch and give you a gift half the staff didn't want to contribute for, then you can sit in your boss's office and tell him all the things you were unhappy about. But not now. Now you are letting him know you are leaving, what date you will be gone, and that you are happy to give two week's notice and not mail it in during the transition. You're done, stand up, reach out your hand. 4.If you like your boss, tell him 1) the decision is what's best for you 2) the decision is irrevocable and he/she shouldn't waste their time with a counteroffer. This sends the big message that he should let go. If he cares about you, he will. 5.Give your Notice ONLY after your drug test and physical are complete and non issues on the other side. If your new offer is contingent on either one and you fail, AND you've given notice, you are now unemployed. I know you're anxious to get it done. You have to suck it up here. 6.Give notice in person. It's like dating. If you had one date, you can break up with a text. If you had sex, it has to be in person. These are the rules. If you worked there a year or more, a call or email or letter is insufficient, tell it face to face. 7.If you are really scared about losing your nerve, tell a few colleagues that you are leaving. Let word get around. Tell your boss you have told some key people. Guess what? Now he won't even try to keep you, lest he create a mutiny: "Hear how you get a raise, do what John did, go quit!" Some people who don't like their jobs and have found a new one sometimes ask "why is quitting so hard?", I'm reminded of a young woman who I was over with, and I sat her down to do the deed. I knew she'd be crushed, me being so wonderful and all, and before I could pull the trigger she told me she was glad I called because she wants to break up. And instead of rational thought, "I'm out, I'm out!! I'm not even the bad guy, this is fantastic," I spent the next hour begging her to reconsider. We know change is good. We know it is essential. We just want to control it, to know how it is going to turn out before we actually take it on. And the world doesn't work that way.

| When Money Makes Man Mad, Trace His Roots. Posted: 22 Jun 2011 09:46 AM PDT
By FRANK NJENGA Those who drink alcohol know that at a certain point one becomes drunk and in that state he is unable to recognize the fact that he has taken too much and continues to ask the bar man for more beer. It is only later, when one wakes up from the drunken slumber of alcohol that he is confronted by a fuming spouse, pounding headache and evidence of dangerous driving showing in his damaged car. Like alcohol, money and power sometimes gets into the heads of people and the more of it they have, the more drunk they seem to get. It is possible that your son has become drunk with money and power and he is now like the typical drunkard at a party, unable to recognise his state of advanced inebriation and behaving badly in the circumstances. It is difficult to be sure what has happened to your once adorable boy, but because you ask we must examine a number of possibilities. Some people go through life under the shadow of a powerful father or older siblings and although they do not say so at the time, they resent the relationship. There are young men, who as teenagers resent being known as the "son of so and so". When introduced to girls, it is only as the son of that famous politician or professional. The development of an individual personality seems impossible from under the dark shadow of his father's great name and presence in public. Some years ago, a client asked me to talk a 50-year-old lawyer who had gone "berserk". His wife came complaining that her husband of 25 years had changed beyond recognition. In tears, she explained that he had left home and moved in with his receptionist who was younger than their last born child. Although he regularly sent money to the family, he lived in a small flat, had bought himself a red sports car and had discarded the grey suits he so much liked and now wore brightly coloured shirts and trousers. He was drinking heavily and spent most evenings in nightclubs in the Westlands area. She knew something was wrong when he started wearing platform shoes and plaited his hair. He looked like a caricature of a teenager from the 60s! Pot bellied, receding hairline and Elvis Presley era clothes. He remained in this state of mental confusion until eventually agreed to present himself to therapy. His was an interesting story. His father had died a few months prior to the onset of this "adolescent crisis in middle age". After the funeral, the lawyer began to feel "free". As the youngest son of a prominent businessman, he had all his life existed under the wings of his father. His death represented the onset of his freedom. Because he was the only son who had excelled in school, the father was particularly proud of him. As soon as he left law school, his father made him the family lawyer . His practice had grown in part because his father had unlimited influence in Government and private sector. Because his father was a teetotaller, he dared not drink alcohol and he remained outwardly very respectful of his father. The 50-year-old man still lived under the shadow of his father, spending all Sundays at home with his parents! To illustrate how badly he felt treated by his father he described himself as one who had been castrated by his own father. He had never felt like a man! Following the death of his father, he felt at last able to live the life he had not lived and felt an uncontrollable urge to "riot" There are a number of men in Kenya today who are going through the equivalent of an adolescent crisis in their 50s and 60s. I am not sure how old your son is and why he might be behaving in the way that he is, but, you might want to talk to him and find out why he needs to behave like one drunk with money and power . It is possible he missed a stage in his development as a teenager! Well adjusted men and women respect their parents and elders all their lives. Something is wrong with your son!

| Kenyan Women Left Out In Leadership Roles. Posted: 22 Jun 2011 07:57 AM PDT
Kenyan companies have been faulted for lack of female leadership. Despite progress in gender equality, the corporate culture in Kenya still favors men for leadership roles. Some of the reasons women do not take up leadership roles in Kenya include lack of exposure as well as cultural norms that restrain them at home especially after they start their own families. Susan Vinniecombe, a professor in Cranfield University-international Centre for Women Leaders says most companies, In Kenya and internationally also lack flexible working time to support women to the top. “Despite women making 70 per cent of purchasing decisions, they are rarely involved in decision making during production of those goods and services,” says Vinniecombe. She was speaking at The Women in Leadership forum which has been orgaised by CIAR Africa Ltd. The event that started yesterday has been sponsored by Barclays Banks Kenya, Coca-Cola Kenya, University of Nairobi bringing together women from various organisations to explore ways to counter challenges that women have been facing at the workplace in their quest to get to the leadership. A review done recently by CIAR in 32 companies listed at the Nairobi Stock Exchange; there are only 32 female directors out 233 just 12 per cent. Only one out of the listed companies has a woman chairing the board. Adan Mohammed, the Managing Director of Barclays Bank Kenya says the bank is targeting to have over 20 per cent women in leadership positions. “But these have to be based on merit so they have to compete for this roles,” said Mohammed.
