Hi All,
 
I wish i could ask Micheal two questions, his Need to Achieve (N-Arch) level and secondly the family birth order i want to believe he is not the first born (on a very light note).  His characteristics portray to me that he is second.  Second borns are impetient and are generally fighters - fighting the buly first born and the strict parents.  Studies show the two characteristics to propel enterprenueral capabilities.  If MJ answered me it will affirm the assumptions.

Hi All,

 

In entreprenuership, there are corridors and a window of opportunity.  A successful entreprenuer has to be in the corridor so that when the window opens, he is right at it.  The situation was already was present and MJ saw the window open and there he exited.  The lesson here is that we need to develop some instinct to tell us the window is open. 

 

Companies big and small can be a success story and i take encouragement from this case study of Safaricom.  I can guarantee you that many papers have been written about Safaricom and i want to believe that soon instead of having Kentucky Chicken as a case study in Strategy books, Safaricom will take up the slot.

Hi Listers

Many thanks for the exciting and very candid contribution - straight from
the heart. It came out clearly that there is something in MJ's character
that produces the results we see.  Mj was  '---smart enough to take
advantage of the situation during his tenure--  '  . Did MJ create the
situation  or just took advantage?

 


Lets reflect on the lessons  of his early years in the ict industry.  The
company was small and indeed an underdog  - today this is no more

There were and still are many companies that were in same position. Some
have gone under while  others are struggling

What lessons do the MJ actions teach such companies ?

Can  the lessons from MJ replicated  to other industries?



cheers
