One of<br>> the challenges of this is managing the very young teams with so much energy<br>> and it is clear MJ was able to
do this well in Safaricom. Can he now take up<br>> a challenge of setting up or taking over a business that can scale to employ<br>> over 100,000 full time workers within 5 years. I know you are probably asking<br>> what they will be doing. This can be the subject of another forum. He has<br>> been able to show he can generate US$ 1billion+ this is a great milestone for<br>> Kenya and Africa. Hiring 100,000 Staff in an institution will be<br>> another. Wal-Mart for example has a workforce of over 2.2 million (see<br>> below).<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> I would propose that we as lister come up with potential businesses we can<br>> acquire and get MJ to run and create these number of jobs. Hope this is not<br>> too utopian<br>> <br>> <br>> Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT) will increase its workforce by 36% in the next five<br>> years to take advantage of growing international demand. The new hires
will<br>> take the company's headcount to 3 million, from 2.2 million now, Susan<br>> Chambers, executive vice president for human resources, said at a conference<br>> in India.<br>> <br>> <br><span>> See full article from DailyFinance:<a target="_blank" href="http://srph.it/cyTEHp">http://srph.it/cyTEHp</a></span><br>> <br>> <br>> Regards<br>> Joe Mucheru<br>> <br>> On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 4:12 PM, muriuki mureithi<br>> <<a ymailto="mailto:mureithi@summitstrategies.co.ke" href="mailto:mureithi@summitstrategies.co.ke">mureithi@summitstrategies.co.ke</a>> wrote:<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Listers <br>> <br>> It can’t be more exciting . we set out to get a 360 degree view<br>> of MJ and now Dr Ndemo has given as a bird’s eye view    of   MJ
