The National Microfinance Bank of Tanzania helps Bail out the Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) with a USD 56million Loan
The National Microfinance Bank of Tanzania has joined a syndicate of local banks and pension funds to lend USD 238million to Tanesco, the parastatal electricity company, wholly owned by the Tanzanian government, money which will be used to pay off debts to suppliers and invest in new equipment. The National Microfinance Bank was founded in 1997, and is the third most profitable bank in Tanzania, holding USD 430million in deposits and assets. The loan to Tanesco supports NMB’s business interests, as well as those of its customers, as it organises collection services for the electricity firm via its network. Currently the Tanzanian government owns 51% of the bank, having sold off the remainder of its stake in 2005. The loan syndicate involved in the bail out includes five banks and four pension funds all from Tanzania.
A Limited Impact on Private Sector Development
Since the beginning of the process in 1990, the number of privatisations through public flotation has been only 4 per cent of total transactions. Moreover, the trend is downward, confirming the difficulty in African countries of building stock exchanges and capital markets, still often used by governments to raise loan finance rather than capital for industry.
Effectively Dealing with Poor Management
While many individuals assume that pay or benefits are driving factors in employee dissatisfaction and turnover, research points in another direction. A Gallup Management Journal article highlighting excerpts from the book, First, Break All the Rules, reveals what is often the source of turnover. Employees join companies…but leave managers. The idea that a manager could affect whether an employee stays loyal to an organization isn’t a new concept. What made this article special was that it used a real life example of why one graduate of Stanford and Harvard left a well-known company after working there for only one year. The former employee said of her manager, “He’s not a bad man; He’s just not a manager. He’s insecure and I don’t think you can be insecure and be a good manager.” Her comment should alert all organizational leaders.

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.

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.

How often do we allow them to grow unchecked until they choke out our happiness, contentment, and success?

12 Tips for New Managers and Managers Who Want to Improve Results

The Accidental Manager: In some train wrecks you may be the train!
Many management promotions are one dimensional, prompted by seniority, non management performance or a recommendation. This is problematic, because great engineers don’t always make a great engineering manager; leading is a very different skill set. When people are placed in management positions haphazardly, it can create a collision between reality and ego. The result is a wreck of denial, manifesting as toxic behaviors: micro-managing, controlling, passive aggressiveness, chaos, bullying, poor judgments and constantly deflecting issues to Human Resources to avoid responsibility.
