📍 The "Engine" Behind a Successful Organisation

#HumanResource #OrganisationCultureAndBehaviour

Have you ever worked tirelessly behind the scenes, coming up with innovative and creative ideas, only to see all the recognition go to your boss without any acknowledgement of your contribution—even when your involvement is obvious?

The reality is that no one wants to appear uninformed, and very few people are willing to admit what they do not know. Only a handful of leaders truly understand the value of publicly giving credit where it is due. Those who do often build stronger teams, boost morale, and inspire even greater achievements.

If you find yourself behind the scenes of a great idea or successful project, here are eight things to keep in mind. Remember, many people are competing for the organisational spotlight, especially where rewards, promotions, and job security are involved.

8 Things You Should Do

1. Never sabotage your boss.
Be a keen listener and observer. Professionalism will always serve you better than resentment.

2. Stay humble.
Never embarrass your boss in public forums. Let your work speak for itself.

3. Keep learning and sharpening your skills.
Strive to become an expert in your field so that your value extends beyond your current organisation.

4. Always have an exit strategy.
Even when things are going well, prepare for future opportunities and changes.

5. Explore side hustles and new opportunities.
Step outside your comfort zone and diversify your skills and income streams.

6. Don't be afraid to apply for other opportunities.
Career growth often comes from being open to new possibilities.

7. Know your worth and negotiate when necessary.
During performance reviews, discuss your contributions and explore opportunities for salary or package improvements. This process helps you better understand both yourself and the organisation.

8. Build a strong professional network.
Surround yourself with people who can support, recommend, and advocate for your career growth.

Bonus Tip:

Start your own venture if the opportunity arises. Do what you love and love what you do. Nothing  is more rewarding than becoming the person you aspire to be and working where you truly belong.

Happy Birthday To Me 40 Plus

 Happy Madaraka Day 🇰🇪 and Happy Birthday To Me ❤️ 🎈Plus 1+

Self-Made Series +throughMylens Bits and Pieces 🧩 🧩 

Let me be the first person to wish myself a happy birthday 😄 Heee, sounds unusual? Well, it depends on what a birthday means to you.

For me, it’s more than just a date on the calendar. It’s a moment to flash back on the journey, thank the Almighty God for another year of life, and remind myself that I still have an unaccomplished purpose to fulfill.

It’s a time to celebrate the achievements made, appreciate the lessons learned, and acknowledge that all the hurdles along the way were part of a bigger story — one that strengthened me, shaped my mindset, and pushed me into new ways of thinking and doing things.

Every challenge carried a lesson. Every setback built resilience. Every small win became part of the foundation.

Here’s to more life, more growth, more purpose, and more impact. 🥂✨

Happy Birthday to me. 🎉

10 Reminders To Survive Any Football Disappointment

 

Football Made Me Series ⚽

Mixed Emotions, Celebrations, or Reactions? 🤔

Football has a way of bringing out the best and worst emotions in us. Whether your team wins, loses, or falls just short, here are 10 reminders to help you survive any football disappointment or heartbreak—especially as a fan here in Kenya.

1. Understand that there are three possible results.
A team can win, lose, or draw. Not every match will go your way.

2. In every final, there can only be one champion.
The beauty and pain of competition is that only one team lifts the trophy.

3. Avoid unnecessary arguments.
Especially with rival fans. Passion is good; hostility is not.

4. Remember your role as a fan.
Whether you're in the stands or on your sofa watching TV, the result is beyond your control.

5. Empathize with the players and coaches.
If the defeat hurts you as a fan, imagine how the players and coaching staff feel after months of sacrifice and preparation.

6. Never overinvest in betting.
And if you must bet, only place an amount you are fully prepared to lose.

7. Don't spread hate.
Football is a game—a team sport that unites people across different backgrounds and cultures.

8. Reflect on the kind of fan you are.
Are you a follower or a supporter? The two may seem similar, but they carry deeper meanings.

9. Supporting big clubs has become a lifestyle in Kenya.
Whether it's in the EPL or elsewhere, you don't always have to prove which side you belong to. Sometimes being a silent fan brings more peace and enjoyment.

10. Support local football too.
If you truly love the game, don't limit yourself to watching foreign leagues from your sofa or crowded viewing halls. Attend matches in your neighbourhood and support at least one club in the Kenyan Premier League and one in the Women's Premier League.

Lastly, many fans can proudly say they have watched hundreds of EPL matches on television. But the question is: how many Kenyan Premier League matches have they attended in person?

I often wish that the same energy, passion, and loyalty we invest in foreign leagues could be channelled towards our local game. Imagine the impact that would have on the growth of football in Kenya—from fan culture and sponsorship to player development and stadium attendance.

As one football chapter closes, another begins. Let's now shift our focus to the World Cup and continue supporting the beautiful game. To all African nations representing the continent, all the best—make us proud! 🌍⚽
