9 people you must remove from your inner circleJon Michail
The document discusses 9 types of people that entrepreneurs should remove from their inner circle in order to be successful. These include devil's advocates, raving fans, inside scoopers, backstabbers, geocentrists, roadblock prophets, schmoozers, maintenance schedulers, and the walking dead. Each type is described as someone who could potentially hold the entrepreneur back from achieving their goals through behaviors such as always finding faults, being overly positive without useful feedback, gossiping, not being supportive, being self-centered, creating unreasonable doubts, focusing on superficial connections, demanding too much attention, or lacking motivation.
This is a slightly amended version of a presentation that I gave in 2012. The occasion was a business networking conference in Ireland called BizCamp.

Comedy can be an effective way to engage audiences and make important messages memorable. Using humor and exaggerated characters, companies can address serious issues while provoking emotional reactions from audiences. Successful comedies on television and in films from around the world follow certain patterns - they avoid language-specific jokes, use visual storytelling, and focus on basic human situations. While humor is personal, companies that take risks with comedy often find it resonates well with employees by making training materials more entertaining and memorable.

EFFECTS OF SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE AT KENYA POWER ...Gabriel Lubale
Kenya Power’s recent corporate performance has been strongly influenced by challenges arising from deficiencies in the performance and capabilities of its bulk power suppliers. The general objective of the study was to determine the effects of supplier development on organizational performance at Kenya Power. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The study’s target population was 474 members. The researcher employed the cluster sampling procedure and a sample size of 142 respondents. The researcher used a structured questionnaire administered in three mailings. The researcher processed and analyzed the field data collected using descriptive analysis and inferential analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 22. The descriptive statistics used were mean and standard deviation. Multiple regression analysis was used to model the relationship between organizational performance and the 3 independent variables. The descriptive statistics revealed that the study’s respondents agreed that supplier evaluation, supplier incentives and supplier partnership positively affected organizational performance at Kenya Power. Correlation analysis indicated strong positive correlation between each of the study’s independent variables and organizational performance with the respective r values all being high (range +0.281 to +0.366). The computed value was 0.147 indicating that 14.7% variation in organizational performance at Kenya Power could be explained by the combined variations in the study’s 3 independent variables. The study’s regression model showed that all the three independent variables had a positive relationship with the dependent variable. ANOVA, at a 95 % confidence level, yielded a computed p-value of 0.007 (which was less than the alpha (α) value of 0.05) and a high computed F-Test ratio value of 0.875. The regression model was thus determined to be statistically significant in predicting how supplier development affects organizational performance at Kenya Power. The study recommends that: Kenya Power intensifies and broadens the supplier evaluation and supplier incentivization aspects of its supplier development practices; and that the GoK, through ERC and MoEP, pursue policies that promote competitiveness amongst Kenya Power’s IPP supply base.

Thank you for your insightful question. While stress management techniques can help in the short term, prolonged exposure to stress without adequate breaks can overwhelm the body's coping abilities. When the stressful situation is removed upon retirement, the body may still be primed for stress and have a harder time unwinding, leading to illness. Maintaining work-life balance and periodically "recharging" even during stressful periods is important for long term health.
