Tout Media

On 9 th August 2015, I wrote an article “ Do Not Kill Your Business; Learn How To Handle Social Media Crisis.” http://mindleadersuganda.blogspot.de/2015/08/do-not-kill-your-business-learn-how-to.html I clearly mentioned it that social media does not have a perfect formula. Its trends and stories will favor you when you clearly do more listening than talking and defending yourself. With the current trending tough hash tags on twitter; #No2Violence and #IStandWithHellen , it’s no longer news that the debate is gaining momentum every single minute on social media and the repercussions can be devastating if not handled well. Growing unpopularity in services, financial loss due to loss of customers and being listed red as one of those institutions that disrespect employees are some of the negative results that can befall your brand simply because you did not listen. Ladies and gentlemen, there is no brand that is bigger than its employees and customers. In orderto handle Crisis, ...

  I am very excited to be writing about this awesome topic that has left industries and economies wondering the right path to take. You may be shocked by the relationship between technology and growth of the current and future economies. My intention today is not to discuss the genesis of the science that has made technology a mega topic of discussion in global political and business summits. Thirty years ago, nobody thought the internet would be as powerful as it is today, little did we expect that banking halls would run empty as clients are busy online transacting business.   I am not a prophet of technology but with the daily experience of the massive changes across the political, social and economic landscapes, I certainly gain the confidence to say Technology is the future. Having emphasized the fact that Technology is the future, I am just curious how many of us are ready to run into the future? A future that is unpredictable and a future that has got a di...

Mwebya Fred: As I personally prepare to attend the fourth coming CIP hands on holiday program this September 5 th to 7th 2016 at Kitante Primary School, I found it important to share what I think are the major important qualities of a good youth mentor. CIP is a Career Imagination Program that is set to inspire a generation of Ugandan youths to use their natural talents, inspirations, passions and determinations to become business leaders and entrepreneurs of tomorrow. Young people agree that you are more likely to influence their life path if you possess the following six qualities. 1. You are Supportive By far, the most important role of a mentor is to support and encourage young people, particularly as they struggle to overcome obstacles and solve problems. When young people feel down, upset with their families, or unhappy in their life situations, mentors are beside them, letting them talk about anything and reminding them of their innate value. 2. You are an Active L...

By Mwebya Fred: Having the right information and the power to use it to impact the decisions youths make today requires an effort from those experienced to share with the youths. Ask any CEOs as to why youth unemployment is critically but deeply biting current University graduates, many will tell you that most of the graduates are not skilled. One wonders when is the right time to equip youths with the right skills and who should we actually pin for failing to achieve the skilling of youths? Depending on the context in which you examine the issue, the fact of the matter is that our system has done a very good job of exposing youths to the theories during their education with very limited exposure to the real world practical lessons that shape skills. One may wonder, just how important it is to expose youths to the real world practical lessons which enhance skills that can enable young people to become more enterprising and self-reliant. There arevarious advantages of youth me...
