Insecure, threatened managers treat subordinates unjustly
Awesome article Refilwe!

May I commend you for publishing this! You ROCK! :)
You have gone BOLDLY where 98% will not!

I am right there with you.

The majority of society suffer from an affliction I refer to head-in-sand-attitudis.

Their attitude: 'Speaking up is futile' combined with 'This it is not my problem'

Then sadly there are the helpless "silenced voices" - those people living in fear because of this abuse of power and the consequences...

I would like to share following lyrics;

All of us just sat back and watched it happen
Thinkin’, “It’s not my responsibility
To solve a problem that isn’t even about me.”

This is our problem

This is just one of them daily scenarios
In which we choose to close our eyes
Instead of doing the right thing
If we make a choice

To be the voice

For those who won’t speak up for themselves
How many lives would be saved, changed, rearranged?

Now it’s our time to pick a side
So don’t keep walking by, not wanting to intervene
‘Cause you just wanna exist and never be seen

So let’s wake up,
Change the world,

Our time is now…

Business lessons to be learned from 1time airline
I do not beleive that the staff and even management knew that the company was going into liquidation as I was in their ofices the day before and assured that everything was improving and even discussed sports proposals for some athletes I am working with. I had a very good meeting with their Customer Services Manager who could not have been more positive. However, I do believe that the Chairman 'Blackie' was fully aware of what was happening and I believe that he should be held personally responsible for refunding the losses.

Where are women voices in talk radio?
So true! There should be an initiative for girls to go to if they're interested in radio - do you know if there's one like that out there? Posted on 17 Nov 2012 12:09

it is of importance that the children are continued on being fed in during school holidays, because they are not only young but also falls under vulnarable group. Posted on 16 Nov 2012 22:27

Where are women voices in talk radio?
I totally agree with you. There's a total lack of women in talk radio. Perhaps you should take the initiative to break the barrier on our behalf. I've never worked on radio and I think it's a fascinating platform to reach all communities. Posted on 16 Nov 2012 17:32

Where are women voices in talk radio?
I found your article thought provoking but I am wondering whether the particular talk station's target audience is also not a factor.If the station is not targeted broadly at a certain type of listener I am not sure how views from that section can be encouraged.And i agree that stations shouldnt subscribe to the stereotypes of having dating shows to attract women callers because while it's important, its also condescending considering men wont be drawn by such conversations.

Maybe its time to leave the commentary to some of the younger guys. Isn't Ivan running the agency? Or Derek? Maybe its time to try and build their profiles. Aren't they the future?If so, invest in them. Posted on 16 Nov 2012 15:02

Expanding your brand across Africa
One final from me, You are 100% right Valentino, there has to be room for local nuances. As we are all saying, one size can not fit all, but a big idea should work where ever. But it may need a local adaptation. Posted on 16 Nov 2012 14:22

Say no to crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing ways to drive traffic, two companies team up
Spec work/crowdsourcing just doesn’t make sense.
