Listers, We all know that the management/leadership/strategic principles (Porters, Prof Mintzberg, Mcgregor etc) that we have all learnt from our formal schooling can and should always be applied. However, due to the dynamic environments that we work in and especially in developing world, we are forced to combine with our informal and/or experience 'principles'. This in a developing world has worked, and that is why 'the paperless bosses' have succeeded. Let us give chance to vision,initiative,strategy and combination of self determination.

However from his list of personalities who have excelled in propelling their organizations to great heights despite their not so high academic qualifications, the one thing they all have in common is that they each had a vision to make their respective organizations what they are today. Robert,please share with us your vision on how you would revive the ailing PCK.

We could also look at what have the candidates achieved prior to coming to PCK. What businesses & institutions have they nurtured/grown?

Hi,
Please read the profile of Micheal Joseph & his successor, in addition would you have hired any of the following fellows;
1. Bill Gates - University drop out 2. Micheal Dell - University drop out 3. James Mwangi - CPAK 4. Alexander Graham Bell - Grade 5 dropout 5. Njenga Karume - Unknown 6. Sir Richard Branson - O'Level
I do not want to belittle paper qualifications but they work when you are looking for a fellow to maintain the status quo which is something we definitely do not want to do with PCK. No college in the world can prepare you on how to turn around an organisation in the state that PCK is in right now.
If you are looking for relevant experience then you will need to get an expatriate as the only national postal corporation in Kenya is PCK. What is Major Ali's qualification that makes him an ideal candidate as the PMG?
If you where sleeping & was then awaken by a hissing sound on turning on the light you see a snake what would you do?
1. Call KWS to send a team of experts to take capture the snake 2. Call the Police 3. Call KSPCA and ask for instruction on how to safely deal with the snake 4. Pick the nearest available to through at it

Robert,
It is good to offer yourself to be elected the new post master general. If i was the appointing authority, i would demand to know what your qualifications are and what measures you would use to turn around the supposed limping organisation. I would ask you your qualifications because it would inform me whether you have the fundamental background and skills required to deliver the service. I would look at both academic and professional experience to take the organisation forward. This also forms a criteria for selection acceptable to all, then we will not have "ya wenyewe" etc.
Regards,
Sam
