5 . Organised A lo t i s happen ing in pa ra l le l and tha t essen-t ia l l y means tha t fo r someone to be ab le to do we l l , s /he needs to be ab le to p lan and p r io r i t i se work and op t im ise on resources . Th is a l so means tha t the person shou ld be ab le to see ahead , iden t i f y dependenc ies and r i sks , and take p reempt i ve ac t ions to reduce chances o f go ing o f f - t rack and a lso be res i l -i en t .

6 .Team Player When you ' re no t work ing a lone , a lo t o f your success a lso comes f rom how we l l you work w i th o thers . Your co l leagues mus t f i nd you t rus twor thy and approachab le ; on ly then w i l l t hey be w i l l i ng to lea rn f rom you , as share the i r knowledge as we l l be w i l l i ng to he lp you .

I t a l so means tha t the person shou ld have the emot iona l matu r i t y and sk i l l t o manage work con f l i c t s and u t i l i ze them as pos i t i ve oppor tun i t i es . C o n t i n u e t o n e x t p a g e

A person w i th a h igh ly success fu l ca reer, i n my exper ience , i s someone who has the 9 sk i l l s as l i s ted be low:

1 .

I t i s good fo r emp loyees to be good team p layers , bu i ld re la t ions and take a joke . Peop le who take the i r work se r ious ly, no t themse lves .

7 . Know What I t Takes To Lead Roles w i th teams a lso requ i re someone who no t on ly can be par t o f teams bu t can a lso fo rm and bu i ld them. The sk i l l o f de lega t ion to ge t work done f rom o thers and o f be ing ab le to un i te ind iv idua ls w i th the i r own ind i -v idua l i t i es in to a s ing le un i t d r i ven by a common purpose i s c r i t i ca l fo r a leader.A leader mus t be capab le enough to cha l -lenge team members enough fo r them to g row. Th is i s ac tua l l y one o f the mos t d i f f i cu l t t ra i t s to f i nd bu t such peop le tend to have teams w i th the lowes t a t t r i t i on . No one l i kes to leave a good boss .

8 . Ent repreneur ia l Abi l i tyThese a re VUCA (Vo la t i l i t y, Uncer ta in ty, Complex i t y, o r Amb igu i t y ) t imes and we need peop le who a re comfor tab le w i th amb igu i t y - - peop le who can t r y and make sense ou t o f a haze and have the ab i l i t y to take r i sks w i th ideas and t r y and c rea te someth ing new; who own up to fa i l u res and a re no t a f ra id o f them.

I ' ve a lways t r i ed to f i nd peop le w i th tha t qu i rk to do someth ing new, c rea te someth ing and have the courage to take the p lunge .

9 . Constant Learner The las t bu t no t the leas t , mos t peop le don ' t rea l i se how impor tan t i t i s fo r a person to be con t inuous ly focused on lea rn ing , evo lv ing in to someth ing new to be re levan t w i th the t imes . Th is ensures success .

Some emp loyees don ' t j us t l ea rn abou t the i r own work a rea ; they a re na tu ra l l y cu r ious and tend to be in te res ted in a lo t o f th ings and usua l l y have hobb ies they a re pass ion-a te abou t .

Beyond these t ra i t s , cu l tu ra l f i tmen ts w i th the company tends to be ano ther impor tan t c r i te r ia . Bu t i n my exper ience , peop le who a re good on mos t o f these t ra i t s , have done fa r be t te r i n the i r ca reers than mos t o thers .

EXTEND ING A HELP ING HAND



My Name is Nakagwe Gloria a female Ugandan 26 years of age. I was born on 28th April 1986 by Mr.Kulumba Bonny a Business Man and Mrs. Kulumba Norah. I come from a family of six and I am the second last born. My hobbies include cook-ing and baking, watching TV and movies, social networking and doing charitable works.

I attended Gayaza High School for my ‘O’ level, Naalya S.S.S, Namugongo Campus for my ‘A’ level and later perused a Bachelor’s Degree In Entrepre-neurship And Small Business Management at Mak-erere University Business School (MUBS).

After completing my studies in 2012, I got an oppor-tunity to work with Technoserve Uganda as Busi-ness Coach for the Women Mean Business Program (2012-2013). Alongside that, I had a small business of making samosas and pancakes. With my heart problem God blessed me with a son in June 2013. I still continued with my business.

HISTORY OF THE HEART PROBLEM

I had the heart problem since birth, 25 years ago. Some days after being born my mother noticed that I wasn’t breathing well. She took me to Mulago Hospital for a checkup and the doctors diagnosed with the heart condition called Ventricular Septial Defect (VSD) commonly known as “a hole in the heart”.

I was given treatment and stayed in hospital for some months. Later, I was discharged but had to go for reviews every month and had to take medicines every day. Ever since then I had to take medicines every day and also go for reviews every month.But as I was growing up, I never had any heart failures but minor discomforts like nose bleeding, fainting, constant headaches and general body weakness. All these could happen anytime anywhere.

I grew up as a normal kid but I was restricted to light activities only. Despite of my heart problem I was able to complete my education well and also demonstrated good leadership skills with active participation in clubs. Am so grateful for that.

On Wednesday 28th January, I underwent the open heart surgery which was successfully done and spear headed by Dr.Oketcho Michael. It has been nine months since the operation and I am doing well. The recovery process has been good with no difficulties. The Doctor also said that Heart is stable and well so I no longer need to take medicines or go for any reviews .My life is all better now and looking forward to a brighter future ahead of me.

I would like to thank Uganda Baati limited for the help you gave me towards the surgery, I am so happy and grateful for all your financial assistance and prayers.

Thanks so much for your kindness and generosity.

May God Bless You.Nakagwe Gloria

NAKAGWE GLORIA’S HEART RECOVERY

As per Environmental compliance, a NEMA Audit was successfully conducted. This is in addition to the various Permits and Licenses that have been issued.

We also conducted an Emergency mock drill which was aimed at improving our awareness towards emergency preparedness and response.

I therefore call on everyone to make safety at work a priority. This will enable us to achieve an injury free workplace, reduce lost time due to injuries and also improve productivity for all personnel.I wish everyone a very safe work-ing period during this remaining time of the year.

ENV IRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY ( EHS )

GO GO GO HURRY TO THE ASSEMBLY POINT _ _ _ _ _ _



We take this opportunity to congratulate everyone on reach-ing this time of the year. I also urge that we all continue working safely as we strive for an injury free work-ing place.

Am happy to report that our posi-tive attitude towards safety has greatly improved. This has been noted in timely reporting of hazards and other health and safety issues. This is in addition to improved compliance to Personal Protective equipment (PPE) and overall reduction in accidents.We also completed revamping the Integrated Management system (IMS) which comprised of ISO 14001 (Environment) and ISO 9001 (Quality). An external Audit was also successfully conducted by NEMKO.

We kicked off the Inter depart-mental Football tournament - season II on 11th July 2015 which saw four teams from different departments play against each other. There are (6) six teams - home and away game rule and four teams will play semifinals.

The tournament has not only seen members compete, but also team building and improving fitness.

The most exciting moments are seeing our female participants dribbling the ball & tussling it out with the males so that their teams don’t lose any point.

As the season comes to an end, I wish to heartily thank all those that have been part of this and fully participated at the pitch in one way or another. Great thanks to management too, which has given

full support to the committee and the football fraternity in order to see this work out. We hope to join the corporate league come 2016!!!

A few matches left to see our winning team walk away with awards and medals for the play-ers. We look forward to more exciting activities & races on the grand finale!!!!!

JOKES HAHAHAH JOKESTwo factory workers are talking. The woman says, "I can make the boss give me the day off." The man replies, "And how would you do that?" The woman says, "Just wait and see." She then hangs upside down from the ceiling. The boss comes in and says, "What are you doing?" The woman replies, "I'm a light bulb." The boss then says, "You've been working so much that you've gone crazy. I think you need to take the day off." The man starts to follow her and the boss says, "Where are you going?" The man says, "I'm going home, too. I can't work in the dark."
