POISE – Personal Development Gu...
Poise is pure content on personal development and self-improvement. Poise book is a mindset magnet. That means if you think of blessings you attract blessings. If you think of problems, you attract problems. The world we live in is the world we choose to live in, whether consciously or unconsciously. If we choose bliss, that’s what we get. If we choose misery, we get that, too. You own the choices and decisions of your life, you are the remote control, the driver, the pilot, the project manager, the architect, the designer and the boss of your life.
Strategic Agility: The Dynamics of Un...
Corporate performance measure and evaluate how an entity achieves its objectives, delivers value to its stakeholders, and ultimately, succeeds in its mission. As such, performance serves as the yardstick for assessing the efficiency, effectiveness; and overall health of a given entity. On the other hand, strategic agility is the ability to quickly sense and respond to changes, adapt strategies, and seize opportunities in the changing environment. Agility serves as the capacity for an entity to redirect resources to create value; and it is a dynamic capability that confers competitive advantage and improves performance.
The book contends that in an era characterized by rapid technological advancements and evolving market dynamics, the imperative for organizations to cultivate strategic agility has never been more pronounced. It further lays bare the significant gap in understanding how strategic agility through its various enablers- namely organizational culture, adaptive leadership, technological innovations, and strategic partnerships can effectively be harnessed to enhance performance of organizations, particularly within the public sector.
In respect to unclaimed financial assets management in Kenya, the book highlights that the country’s designated regime managing agency, thus the Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority, ought to embrace strategic agility enablers with greater emphasis placed on organizational culture and steady investment in technological innovations (for instance digitalization), for it to realize enhanced corporate performance. By so doing, this has the greater chance of mitigating the commonplace performance crisis among similar organizations, despite high stakeholder expectations.
This book shares about the intricacies of managing the unclaimed financial assets regime in Africa, highlighting the Kenya’s Unclaimed Financial Assets management as a case study. It underscores the principles of positioning a robust unclaimed financial assets regime in Africa and its implications for such institutional management on the national economies. When such calls to action are well responded to, then the chance of averting performance delivery challenges in such or similar institutions, within and beyond our time, space and geographies is plausible. Resultantly, institutions thrive, and economies prosper, thereby securing sustainable development.

The Village Pariah by Imali J. Abala
The Village Pariah, narrated in verse, dramatizes the story of Rosie Kasovo, a beautiful and lonely woman from Ngoroke village. Abandoned by her husband shortly after their marriage when he secures a job in the city, her striking beauty unwittingly becomes her double-edged sword, inviting relentless scrutiny from the people of Ngoroke. Every action she takes falls under their watchful gaze. Despite her sincere efforts to contribute positively to the common good of the community, her deeds are met with skepticism. As the accusations and betrayal against her mount, one question remains: will Rosie be able to emerge from this ordeal unscathed, or will she crumble under the weight of her village’s judgment?
What Others Say
The Village Pariah is a remarkable book illustrating how beauty was once believed to guarantee happiness and a seamless life, yet for Rosie, a Logooli woman, it has become a barrier, a pariah wall, isolating her from the community. Strangely, the fate of the entire village appears intertwined with hers, their destinies woven into the fabric of their relentless gossip. Into this tangled web steps Eliab, a man lacking noble standing but propelled by the villagers’ whispered truths, determined to confront her. If his impulsive action can mend their afflictions, both tangible and perceived and liberate the unfortunate souls ensnared by her charm, then so be it. - Alfred Nyagaka Nyamwange, English/Literature Teacher and Deputy Principal at Bon’gota Secondary School.

Close Call in Mogadishu By Mark Agutu
Wednesday, May 4, 2005 had all the hallmarks of a wonderful day. The sun was up by 6am, peeking cheerfully over the Indian Ocean in the horizon, its rays kicking up beautiful sparkles in the watery
expanse.
This was meant to be a memorable day. The day new Prime Minister Ali Gedi would, in person, address the Somali people in a rally at the
Mogadishu National Stadium.
He had arrived in the battle-scarred city a few days earlier. The purpose of this trip was clear. He was to assess suitability of Mogadishu as the possible seat of the Somalia Transitional Federal Government (TFG) led by President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed when it relocates home from Nairobi.
Gedi had spent the days following his arrival in energy-sapping whirlwind tours, meeting and negotiating with notorious warlords, determined to win heir backing for the new government.
When the rally finally got going under a relentless midday sun it quickly turned into a festival, a colourful jamboree. The stadium heaved and pulsated with excitement, song and dance
as the jubilant Somalis celebrated what they hoped was the arrival of a new dawn in their country, the dawn of peace and stability.
Then, as Gedi was addressing the multitude, an explosion ripped through the stadium, bringing the event to a shuddering stop. When the dust finally settled, many lay dead, dismembered by
the explosion, as scores of others writhed on the ground, fatally wounded. Gedi emerged unscathed and was whisked off to safety.
