evaluation is carried out. It is envisaged that after the training organizations will be able to undertake effective job evaluations devoid of glaring gaps and concerns raised in the previous exercise. Officiating the opening ceremony, SRC Commissioner John Kennedy Monyoncho said the training will enable participants to acquire requisite knowledge and expertise in job analysis and description. Mr. Monyoncho argued that with proper job descriptions, organizations will have appropriate job hierarchy and office holders will be suitably remunerated. He said, “It is important for the participants to get it right from this training because it will inform the salary and grading structure. If you get it wrong, you will end up with wrong job descriptions hence a skewed job evaluation and remuneration thereof.” He commended KSG Director General Prof. Ludeki Chweya for facilitating the training and ensuring that participants observe Ministry of Health protocols on COVID-19. Highlighting some of the gaps previously experienced, Prof. Chweya singled out an incident where a panel consisting of directors interviewed an assistant director who was to be paid way above them yet the assistant director grade was lower than the interviewers’ substantive positions. Prof. Chweya expressed confidence that the training would facilitate institutions to pay for the true worth of a job and not the

person doing the job. He was grateful to SRC for giving KSG the opportunity to correct the situation and assist in delivering a proper grading system for officers across the public service. Dr. Josephine Mwanzia, Director of Academic Affairs at the School, noted that the job evaluation training is one of the critical milestones in realization of activities that the School has been implementing and continues to implement in collaboration with SRC. “It is a momentous time when KSG, in partnership with SRC, is marking the official start of capacity development in job evaluation of the public sector to guide financial years 2021-2024,” she said. Dr. Mwanzia observed that the training is geared towards ensuring a successful review and subsequent development of a new grading and salary structure in the public service as per Section (11) of the SRC Act 2011. The section requires that job evaluation be done after every four years. On his side, a Deputy Director at SRC, Dr. Hillary Patroba, acknowledged the Job Description Analysis Committee (JDAC) members for joining the inaugural capacity building session on job evaluation and development of job description. Participants in this inaugural class were drawn from Capital Markets Authority, Office of the Controller of Budget, Kenya Prisons Service, National Youth Service, Rural Electrification Authority, and Multi-Media University.

Editor’s Note...

I t is timely that KSG together with SRC have embarked on the Job Evaluation Training that

will address the concerns of long time disparities in the job market for public officers. The training held at the School should inform the salary and grading structures and as Prof. Chweya hopes, pay for the true worth of a job and not the person doing the job. And, with time, we are getting used to the new normal due to the Coronavirus pandemic. It is hoped, however, that come Tuesday September 29, President Kenyatta will re-open the economy to rebuild the country for Kenya to bounce back stronger and better. The anticipated re-opening of schools probably indicates the country’s preparedness to move beyond the fear and to work with the existence of coronavirus pandemic. After years of service to KSG Ogopa Football Club, Ronny Oyaro Kola now joins Nairobi City Stars. Having been with Ogopa since its inception, Kola had a successful run with the team to become one of the best players of Ogopa. A dream come true for him, we wish him all the best at the new club. May he keep shining. Also, in the Bulletin… Listening is part of communication that many struggle with, without realizing. Read on the tips for professional, engaging, respectful and successful communication as expanded on our guest columnist. And finally, get to gain more from Maxwell on his book chapter on situations, action and timing that makes all the difference. Enjoy reading.

including the strengthening of our capacity for local manufacturing” Dr. Kinyua said. Further, individuals who have “emerged as ‘COVID-19 Heroes’ due to their exemplary and selfless service to Kenya” will also be recognized at the conference which is set to be held on the eve of the 12th Presidential Address to the Nation. It is anticipated that the forum will inform the measures to be announced by President Kenyatta during the Nation Address. And as the day approaches, the Ministry of Education has directed teachers to report to schools in order to prepare for the eventual resumption of face to face learning. The Education Taskforce recommended a staggered re-opening as the country encourages strict adherence to protocols set to control the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. Basic learning institutions are set

to be opened and students could report as early as October. This change of school re-opening date from January 2021 to October 2020 could be a clear indication of the country’s preparedness to move beyond the fear and to work with the existence of the pandemic. Even so, government and private sector institutions have continued to embrace the new mode of working from home, as the pandemic significantly changes working normalcy. Resumption of face to face operations could however mean, to some institutions, a mere complementarity to working remotely. Either way, the pandemic has brought with it not only challenges, but opportunities for adoption and enhancement of various technological advancements and embracing of new ways of doing things.

W ill President Uhuru Kenyatta officially re-open the economy come

Tuesday? This probably remains a major question in the minds of many Kenyans as the country continues to record coronavirus cases and resultant deaths, and various economic challenges. All pointers do indicate a high possibility of re-opening. And, critical answers to the question could probably become clear at the National Conference on COVID-19 to be held on Monday September 28, 2020. The conference, which will bring together stakeholders from various sectors, seeks to take stock of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country as well as churn a way forward for the new normal. In a statement on Monday September 21, 2020, Head of Public Service, Dr. Joseph Kinyua, highlighted that the upcoming conference, “is expected to chart a responsible path forward for Kenya as our nation establishes the new normal of adaption to living with the pandemic; and outline a strategy for building and sustaining momentum with regard to recovery and resilience in a manner that ensures that Kenya bounces back better and stronger.” It will also “showcase good practices which have strengthened economic resilience and self-reliance,

Listening is part of communication

T he level of productivity for any communication fora is determined by the communication skills and

mature nature of conversations held therein. High level of decorum is paramount in such fora. This means that when it comes to expressing ideas, members are advised to guard against negative comments, innuendos and vulgarity which is unacceptable in any professional fora. Demonstrating respect, through communication, is key to developing relationships to advancing the communication profession and really making the most of the environment we are working in. This calls for those pitching an idea, making a business deal, or just engaging in regular conversation with colleagues to always do so with respect. Indeed, this is essential in communication not just in terms of cultural practice, but also in terms of common courtesy and in making connections. Some people could be struggling with how to become more respectful communicators. Below are a few tips for all time communication that is both successful and respectful. Practice politeness, courtesy,

and kindness no matter who you are speaking to, what your mutual history is, what kind of day you are having or whatever other factors you bring to the table. Good manners are a

constant must. Be kind every day, be courteous

regarding others’ needs and opinions and be polite at all times even if you are not feeling your kindness. A little respect goes a long way and will reflect on you positively.

Listen graciously. People have a tendency to do a lot of talking when it comes to communicating across colleagues, projects, deals and ideas. It is advisable to take the time to listen, as well. Successful and respectful communication is a two way street, so make sure when you are having a conversation, you take the time to attentively listen to and actively hear others.

Avoid negativity. No matter how frustrated you are, it is never acceptable to insult, disparage or make fun of either people or their ideas. In the end, it will only lead to a mutual loss of respect and that could affect any fora as a whole. Instead, choose a constructive way of compromising or collaborating to solve problems or address issues.

Talk to people not about them and do not over criticize. When contributing to a conversation, it is important to give constructive feedback and mention how things could be done differently to grow. This is because nit-picking, belittling, patronizing or constantly criticizing will only discourage others and damage a relationship. Instead, offer

constant positive reinforcement along with constructive comments to give your fellow professionals the confidence and encouragement they need.

Treat people equally. No matter the difference in background, position, qualifications or other factors, treat everyone you interact with fairly and equally to maintain a positive forum.

Be emotionally empathetic. You can never know exactly what is going on in someone else’s life. As a result, when you converse with them, do not be judgmental, impersonal or closed-off. Keep yourself emotionally open, pick up on others’ cues and practice empathy. It will take you far in any relationship.

Value others' opinions. Different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds are what make relationships multifaceted and push progress. Always make sure you value others’ opinions, encourage expression, consider their viewpoints and collaborate.

In implementing these tips, you will have observed professional ethics in communication and that is critical in maintaining any fora or community in a conversation.

T he Kenya School of Government Ogopa FC will miss the services of dependable holding

midfielder, Ronny Oyaro Kola, for this coming season. This follows the player’s transfer to the newly promoted Kenya Premier League side, Nairobi City Stars. City Stars signed Oyaro during this current transfer window which ends in November. The player’s transfer has registered mixed reactions; attracting congratulatory messages as well as sadness from the fans, team mates, team management and the KSG management. Having been one of the best players in KSG Ogopa FC since its establishment Ronny Oyaro’s departure has left the squad depth, with questions for coach to answer. Oyaro has been with the team for almost eight years. As he draws closer and closer to make his eagerly awaited premier league debut, KSG fans will miss his combative midfield tackles and his many winning midfield battles. He now joins Nairobi City Stars after a successful campaign with Ogopa FC during the 2019-2020 season. He had a successful run with Ogopa FC and his contribution assisted the team to lift the Nairobi West County League trophy in 2019. In addition, he captained the Ogopa FC Youth team up to the Chapa

Mbenzwa (Kamara), is pleased and sad at the same time. He is sad to lose a dependable player but happy to have been the one who has nurtured such a player to join an upper league. “We will miss his services. Ronny has been a pivotal figure for KSG Ogopa FC. He has matured tremendously with every match he has played. His transition to the highest league in the country, where he will play with the crème de la crème in Kenya, is a clear indicator of the quality of KSG’s capacity development, sports included. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors,” Coach Mbenzwa pointed out. The Kenya School of Government Football Club aims at nurturing and developing youth talents. It has engaged and provided hope to a number of youth from around the community. From Corporate Communications we say; continue shining Ronny. All the best in the highest league in the country.

His prowess and strength in the midfield caught the eye of Nairobi City Stars scouts during the Chapa Dimba Na Safaricom Tournament that was held early this year at the Jamhuri High School grounds. The exiting midfielder attributes his rise in form to the extensive training and coaching he received while at KSG Ogopa FC, which has enabled him to achieve his dream. “I have been at the club since its inception. My experience at KSG Ogopa FC has been marvelous. In there, I found friends who later became family. It has been my dream to one day play for a top-level league in the country. I thank KSG Ogopa FC for believing in me, and guiding me. Signing for Nairobi City Star is indeed a dream come true," he said. The KSG Ogopa FC Coach, John

T hey were both born on a Friday. They met on a Wednesday. The husband died on a Wednesday and

was buried on a Saturday. This is the latest revelation of the life of the late Edwin Noballa by the wife, Lucy Sharon Muema, during his memorial service. The presiding priest, Fr. Simon Ouedraogo, during the late Edwin’s memorial service at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Nairobi’s South B, termed death as just a door. He said: “People will pass through that door at different times. Everybody’s time will come.” The priest told the congregation to endeavour to do good while on earth: “We remember Edwin for the good things he did. We pray that God welcomes his soul to eternal life until we meet again.” Fr. Simon preached that life has overcome death through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He appealed to all to continue encouraging one another as they all cherished the memory of Edwin. The late Edwin’s wife, Lucy Sharon Muema, disclosed that there are very many things that he had started and which she feels obliged to fulfill, and with God’s mercy and strength, she hopes to accomplish them. “I thank God for the time I had with Edwin and the friends he introduced me to. I know they will stand with me till the end of time. I want all of us to remember him in a good way. I will always remember Edwin that way,” said Lucy. She confessed of having received a number of calls from friends urging

her to move on but she has instead decided to “move forward”. Mr. Samwel Kumba, who represented the KSG Director General Prof. Ludeki Chweya and Dr. Anne Kang’ethe of Embu Campus Director – where Noballa was stationed-, at the memorial service, described Edwin as a meticulous member of staff who was a friend to many. “Edwin always wore a smile. He made difficult situations lighter. He is greatly missed by all his colleagues,” said Mr. Kumba, who assured the family of continuous support from the School. Mr. Fredrick Noballa, Edwin’s brother, said that the family will miss Edwin who was gifted differently from the other siblings. “We all have different finger prints.

I am the last born while Edwin is the second born. He would sit until the wee hours of the morning whenever he had examinations, which he passed quite well. He once had an accident and nearly lost his hand just before sitting for examinations but still proceeded and sat for the same,” said Fredrick demonstrating his late brother’s determination. Remembering that his brother rarely kept time, Fredrick said Edwin always called a spade a spade. Mr. Elijah Mwaniki, his brother in-law, echoed Fredrick describing Edwin’s sheer determination as something to emulate.

Leaders take the right action at the right time

parishes, with the overwhelming majority occurring in New Orleans. According to Maxwell, if the leaders had paid greater attention not only to what they did but also to when they did it, many more lives would have been saved. Timing is everything Good leaders, he documents, recognize that when to lead is as important as what to do and where to go. Timing is often the difference between success and failure in an endeavour. Every time a leader makes a move, there are really only four outcomes: Wrong action at the wrong time which leads to disaster, right action at the wrong time which brings resistance, wrong action at the right time which is a mistake and right action at the right time which results in success. A leader who takes the wrong action at the wrong time is sure to suffer negative repercussions. Therefore, when it comes to good leadership, having a vision for the direction of the organization or team and knowing how to get there is not enough. If you take the right action but do it at the wrong time, you may still be unsuccessful because the people you lead can become resistant. History has shown that people who are naturally entrepreneurial often possess a strong sense of timing. They intuitively know when it is time to make a move—to seize an opportunity. Indeed, when the right leader and the right timing come together, incredible things happen. An organization achieves its goals, reaps incredible rewards, and gains momentum. Success almost becomes inevitable. Evidently, examination of the history of nearly any organization, documents a pivotal moment when the right leader took the right action at the right time, and it transformed the

organization. It is, especially when the stakes are high, that the consequences of the Law of Timing are dramatic and immediate. And that is certainly true in times of war. In any major battle, the critical importance of timing becomes evident. Good leadership Reading a situation and knowing what to do is not enough to make one succeed in leadership. The right action at the right time will bring success. Good timing requires many things including appreciating the fact that leaders must have a firm grasp on the situation (understanding), if the motive of a leader is not right, their timing will be off (maturity), and that people follow leaders who know what must be done (confidence). Similarly, it is clear that wishy-washy leaders create wishy-washy followers (indecisiveness), if leaders do not possess experience, then they need to gain wisdom from others who do possess it (experience), timing often depends on intangibles, such as momentum and morale (intuition), and that if the conditions are not right, leaders must create those conditions (preparation). The success or failure of an organization, therefore, depends on how many leaders have been developed to support it. If those leaders repeatedly show poor judgment, even in little things, people start to think that having them as their leaders is the real mistake. This means that every situation requires that leaders heed the Law of Timing. If one leads a department or a small team and they take the wrong action at the wrong time, their people will suffer. And so will their leadership. No leader, therefore, can escape the Law of Timing.

R eading is important yet the ability to explain why could be harder than we think. Those who have dared to find out have come across such reasons as reading develops thoughts, gives endless knowledge, and lessons while keeping minds active. Indeed, reading exposes people to new words which enables them to

develop deeper understanding of their language and how to use it. To keep the audience smarter, Bulletin Writer SAMWEL KUMBA runs this series of book review and encourages readers to read and enhance knowledge,

expand their vocabulary, and deepen their thinking. Therefore, read a good book today starting with this: The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.

LEADERS’ MUST READ

W arren Bennis, one of the pioneers of contemporary leadership studies, was

fond of saying, ‘the manager does things right; the leader does the right thing’. He termed this as a distinction that speaks volumes to anyone who seeks to both manage and lead in an organization. In his conclusion termed the manager as a copy and the leader is an original. In this week’s chapter, John Maxwell, Author of The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership discusses the Law of Timing, arguing that leaders do the right things at the right time. He begins with an illustration that on Wednesday, August 24, 2005, nobody in New Orleans could have known that the newly formed tropical storm, named Katrina, would be the big one—the hurricane the city had feared would someday come. The time to move people out of New Orleans was when the other parish leaders announced their mandatory evacuations. However, Mayor Ray Nagin on Saturday evening finally announced a voluntary evacuation of New Orleans—and later on Monday, a mandatory evacuation—fewer than twenty-four hours before the hurricane would make landfall. It was much too late for many citizens of New Orleans. Too little too late The author opines that the way Katrina was handled shows leadership timing at its worst. It was botched at every level. Even the local animal shelter did better than the mayor. Two days prior to Katrina’s arrival, it evacuated hundreds of animals to Houston, Texas. In the end, more than 1,836 people died as a result of the hurricane; 1,577 of those people were from Louisiana. Eighty per cent of the deaths in Louisiana occurred in Orleans and St. Bernard

Quote of the Week Humour of the week

Have your say corner

When to lead is as important as what to do and where to go

Leaders at every level dropped the ball. The Mayor, the Governor, the Cabinet Secretary, and the President. Not

one of them understood the potential devastation that can come when a leader violates the Law of Timing.

― John C. Maxwell, American Speaker, Pastor, and Author of The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership

right – for you will be criticized

anyway.”
