A compelling and trenchant narrative, rendered in accessible idiom by a strong team of seasoned storytellers. The story of Martin Oduor-Otieno, even in its interim, captures the essence and wisdom in these words. That the subject of this biographical work towers head and shoulder above the standard good business leader and manager is not coincidental. It has its foundations in a disciplined even if somewhat regimented yet most stimulating childhood and upbringing under watchful and focused parents. It is a journey through a firm, albeit sometimes overbearing educational background and path. Here is a robust inspirational story that any youth would do well to be intimate with, while the mature reader will want to see why some people seem to get it right the first time, all the time. From the humble origins of village life in a slow and laidback lakeside village, Martin grows up to hone his faculties amidst some of the most brilliant youth anywhere, in preparation for a breathtaking career that traverses both the private and public sectors beyond the confines of his native Kenya.
