Why Your Best Employees Struggle as Managers — And What It's Costing Your Organization
You promoted them because they were great at their job.
_But did you prepare them to manage people?_
Too often, a top performer becomes a manager and then:
▪️ Struggles to delegate
▪️ Micromanages the team
▪️ Avoids difficult conversations
▪️ Keeps escalating routine decisions
The result? Lost productivity, frustrated staff and good people leaving.
Join us to find out why this happens and how your organization can fix it.

The Higher You Rise, the More Political Your Job Becomes
Early in your career, being good at your job can take you far.
You know your work. You meet deadlines. You solve problems. You deliver results.
Then you become a Supervisor.
Manager.
Head of Department.
Or CEO.
And suddenly, competence alone is no longer enough.
The higher you rise, the more political your job becomes.
Because another 5 years of experience can leave you…
5 years older.
With 5 more years on your CV.
More responsibilities.
More pressure.
More experience.
And almost the same salary.
Don’t let experience accumulate without your market value increasing with it.
Your career should not just get longer.
It should get more valuable.
So if you’re earning KSh 200K+ and feel stuck, don’t just ask:
“How can I get a salary increment?”
Ask a much harder question:
“What would make another employer willing to pay me twice what I earn today?”
Then work backwards.
What skills?
What results?
What exposure?
What responsibilities?
What type of employer?
If you were earning KSh 200K before COVID…
What are you earning today?
KSh 250K?
KSh 500K?
KSh 1M?
Or are you still around KSh 200K?
As an executive recruiter, I’ve noticed something uncomfortable in Kenya’s job market:
For many experienced professionals, salaries have barely moved.
But here’s the interesting part… 🧵
A guy at work kept "accidentally" taking credit for ideas I brought up in meetings.
Third time it happened, I started emailing my ideas to the team beforehand timestamped, cc'ing everyone.
Next meeting, he opened his mouth...
Managers don't usually hire the wrong people. They hire the people they already had doubts about. Here's what I've learnt after years of interviewing thousands of candidates.
