Nyumba hii haina madirisha lakini haivuji wala haingizi maji. Ulinzi ni wa kutosha wa ndani anamuona wa nje na wa nje hamuoni wa ndani. Huezekwa wa wanawake majukumu ya kazi ya kijinsia, Afrika tumeanza zamani!

Hivi kweli huwa tunajiandaa na haya kabla hatujaanza 'negotiations' au tunakimbilia kuvaa suti na kufunga tai? Basi kama hatufanyi tujiandae.

If you want to be an effective negotioator

1)PLAN
2)PROPOSE
3)DEBATE
4)BARGAIN

Hivi tunaowapeleka kwenye 'negotiations' huwa wanatambua nini cha kufanya?

Procrastination

Nothing is so fatiguing as the general hanging on of uncompleted task- William James.

Kwa kweli tabia hii ya kutokamilisha kazi kwa wakati uliowekwa ni kilema kwa watu wengi hata Banzi wa Moro anayo ndiyo hiyo inayoitwa - PROCRASTINATION. Unapewa kazi unasema nitafanya kesho, kesho, kesho hatimaye inachelewa na matokeo yake ni mabaya si kazini hata nyumbani kwako kama umeamua kufanya kitu anza sasa muda haukungoji. Utafiti uliokwishafanyika unaonyesha kuwa 20% ya Wamerekani wanatabia hiisisi je? Pengine 80!

who is a good leader

Is the one who uses all leadership styles depending on the situation/condition, i.e. autocratic, democratic and delegative.

Delegative type of leadership

The leader allows the employees to make the decisions. However the leader is still responsible for the decisions that are made.

USED: When employees are able to analyse the situation and determine what needs to be done and how to do it.

Autocratic leadership style

Leaders tell their employees what they want done and how thay wat it accomplished, without getting the advice of their followers

APPLICATION:When leaders have all information to solve the problem. Also it is applied when the period of execution is short and when the employee are well motivated.

Participative leadership

This involves the leader including one or more employees in the decision making process (determining what to do and how to do it). However the leader maintains the final decision making authority.

CAUTION:Using this style is not a sign of weakness, rather it is a sign of strength that your employees will respect.

USED:When you have part of the information and employee have other parts.

NB. A leader is not expected to know everything-this is why you employ knowledgeable and skillful employees.

IMPORTANCE: Is a mutual benefit. It allows them to become part of the team and allows you to make better decisions.

Huyu utamwita kiongozi

Kiongozi
-hana ushawishi
-hana motisha, hana malengo
-hafanyi jitahada zozote kuhakikisha mambo yanafanikiwa
-haongozi
-haweki mambo sawa
-haandai shughuli kwa ufasaha.

Sasa unapokaribishwa karibu sana kiongozi wetu wakati wewe sifa zako ni hizo hapo juu hebu jichunguze mwenzetu. Ili uitwe kiongozi badilisha hizo sifa ziwe chanya.

Usimwite Meneja kama hana sifa za umeneja

Wengi tumezoea na kukubali kuitwa meneja. Tanzania tunao mameneja wengi sana. Meneja wa baa, meneja mama ntilie, meneja wa timu ya mpira, meneja wa kiwanda cha sukari n.k.. Sina ubishi kuwa meneja anaweza kuwa mahali popote jikoni, shuleni, hospitali, ofisini,kiwandani. Lakini ni sharti tujiulize wanafanya kazi hizi?
1) Wanapanga?
2)Wanaratibu?
3)Wanaongoza?
4)Wanaandaa?
5)Wanasimamia raslimali?

Kama hawafanyi kazi nilizotaja hapo juu hawastahili kuitwa meneja hao jina kubwa lakini hakuna wanalofanya!

Waswazi na Utamaduni wao

Waswazi wanatunza utamaduni wao. Taifa lao linaongozwa na Mfalme (King Mswati III).
Utamaduni una nguvu sana hapa Swaziland ingawa umagharibi unaingia kwa kasi hasa kwa vijana.Waswazi wanapenda sana lugha yao Kiswati. Wanapenda kukonyesha ngoma zao za asili, nyumba zao, mavazi yao na mambo kadha wa kadhaa. Mfalme anaongoza nchi pamoja na mama yake.

Siyabonga kakhulu-Asante sana

Mawasiliano ni kitu muhimu sana katika maisha ya binadamu.Hapa Swaziland wenyeji wanawasiliana kwa lugha ijulikanayo 'Kiswati'.Unapotaka kushukuru kwa huduma nzuri i
uliyopewa unasema 'Siyabonga kakhulu' maana yake asante sana. Pia unapotaka kumsalimia mwenzako unamwambia 'kunjani.' Hii ina maana habari yako au mambo!Ndiyo hivyo tena lazima lugha ipande ukitaka kuishi na watu ugenini. Siku njema. (Pichani Bw. Collins mmoja wa wawezeshaji wa Mananga Centre akimtunuku cheti mmoja wa washiriki wa course za Mananga)

Masomoni Swaziland

Nimewasili nchini Swaziland jana tarehe 11/03/2012 kwa madhumuni ya mafunzo ya muda mfupi. Nipo chuoni Mananga kilichopo mji mdogo ujulikanao Ezuilini. Swaziland ni nchi ya vilima vilima.Nimefahamishwa kuwa idadi ya watu nchi nzima ni watu milioni 1.2 ni watu wachache sana karibu hii ni robo ya idadi ya watu walioko jijini Dar Es Salaam.Uchumi wa nchi hii hutegemea kilimo cha miwa. Swaziland inaoongozwa na King Mswati. Pasaka tutakula wote hapo nyumbani. Mkiona kimya nimetingwa na shule!1600

Kilimanjaro kanuna

Kuna wakati mwingine mlima kilimanjaro unaonekana vizuri sana vilima vyote viwili Kibo na Mawenzi, kuna wakati unaona kilima kimoja tu na kuna wakati huoni kitu kabisa na wakati mwingine hauonekani vizuri. Nikiwa njia panda ya Himo niliweza kupata picha hii ya mlima Kilimanjaro hali haikuwa nzuri. Kweli Kilimanjaro kanuna.

Waulize watoto watakwambia

Watoto hawa tuliwakuta njiapanda ya Himo mkoani Kilimanjaro. Bw. Omary alipata fursa ya kuzungumza nao. Kwa mujibu wa Bw. Omary Kizito watoto hao walijeleza wao ni nani na wako hapo kituoni wakisubiri gari la kwenda shuleni na kwa kuwa ilikuwa siku ya Ijumaa walikuwa wamevalia sare za michezo. Angalia njumu mguuni!

Mambo ya field

Wakati mwingine inabidi kwenda nyumbani ya kwa wakulima na kuhojiana. Inaposhindikana kwend na magari basi hivi ndivyo inavyokuwa.
