This book has been  written to share the cutting edge matters and experiences relating to people management which every organization requires to survive the current cut throat competitive world. The lessons learnt here can also assist a lot in the family and community set up. Human resources (employees) are the greatest resources and assets in every organization and society followed by finance and equipment, and no one can afford to ignore them. You must use people everywhere to turn your goals, dreams and visions into reality. I have never seen anybody or organization succeeding without people in play. Failure is waiting anxiously for those who make blunders by mismanaging people.

The facts about the management of human resources (HR) are series of teachings and experiences shared by the author during various staff trainings and at Radio Imani Baringo for the last three (3) years from the year 2022 to date with adjustments as discussed during the many radio talk shows and trainings to accommodate the views of listeners or participants.

It is also very handy to community groups and general public to access the critical information and make informed decisions in life to make this planet a better place to live in. Moreover, this will empower them to monitor and report on violations made by public institutions.

Furthermore, it is a fact that most of the major challenges we face today as a community and a nation is as a result of faulty decisions we make, violation of the rule of law, the stinking rot of massive corruption and mismanagement of people.
