Microfinance - Where We Are Now: And Where We Are Headed
| |
| All of us who are involved in microfinance know that it is neither just nor economically tenable for financial systems in poor countries to serve only a tiny proportion of the population and exclude the vast majority. We are no longer alone in this. All over the developing world people are waking up to the fact that poor people need - and will pay for - a wealth of financial options, solutions and services, just like rich people. They are realizing that poor people represent a vast untapped market opportunity. And as a result we are witnessing poor people's finance becoming mainstream finance in most poor countries. |

Micro-finance Policy and Development Framework: Malawi
| |
| In Malawi poverty is more persistent in the rural areas at about 65.3% of the population. The
recent poverty profile (National Economic Council, 2000) suggests that these poor are characterised
by malnutrition, lack of income earning opportunities, and unfavourable production environment.

poorer than male-headed households, and are mainly engaged in subsistence farming and petty
trading activities. |

The Fine Art of Pulling Weeds
| |
| Just as in any garden, in life, weeds are inevitable and frankly just evidence of our fallibility as humans. Weeds of fear, poor attitude, bitterness, laziness, indecision, ignorance, clutter, poor time management, failure to set goals, lack of exercise, poor eating habits, and neglected relationships. How often do we allow them to grow unchecked until they choke out our happiness, contentment, and success? |

A Small Hole Can Sink A Big Ship - The Poor Performer and Other Like Obstacles
| |
| Of all the non-actions likely to negatively impact on a team’s morale, it seems none is quite so damning as a failure to respond promptly to a team member’s poor performance. Research consistently contends that business leaders lose most kudos when poor performance is left unattended and poor performers are able to continue their inappropriate behaviour without repercussion. Whilst many leaders may opt to avoid the situation of a poor performer and choose instead to alienate them in the hope they will leave of their own accord, the disharmony created through such a strategy is frequently so great that it infiltrates into other facets of the business. |
