KSh150.00KSh300.00
“Both mainstream and movement history too often focus on the lives of ‘great men.’ But who really does the work of grassroots movement-building? Singer, activist, working mother, poet, photographer, and writer, Marianne Robinson is one of many women who have held up their ‘half of the sky’ in progressive movements. Her moving autobiography spans many decades of cultural and political activity in People’s Songs, labor, women’s and anti-war movements from the 1940s onward.” –Suzanne Gordon, journalist, writer, and author of Nursing Against the Odds
As a chronicle of Marianne Robinson’s unconventional life, Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire is a fast-moving personal story that describes her multidimensional life of commitment, change, and creativity. Poems, photos, and graphic images also serve to illustrate her restless journey.

The Fifth Discipline
KSh800.00This revised edition of the bestselling classic is based on fifteen years of experience in putting Peter Sengeâs ideas into practice. As Senge makes clear, in the long run the only sustainable competitive advantage is your organizationâs ability to learn faster than the competition. The leadership stories demonstrate the many ways that the core ideas of the Fifth Discipline, many of which seemed radical when first published, have become deeply integrated into peopleâs ways of seeing the world and their managerial practices.
Senge describes how companies can rid themselves of the learning blocks that threaten their productivity and success by adopting the strategies of learning organizations, in which new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, collective aspiration is set free, and people are continually learning how to create the results they truly desire.
Mastering the disciplines Senge outlines in the book will:
⢠Reignite the spark of genuine learning driven by people focused on what truly matters to them
⢠Bridge teamwork into macrocreativity
⢠Free you of confining assumptions and mindsets
⢠Teach you to see the forest and the trees
⢠End the struggle between work and personal timeThis updated edition contains more than one hundred pages of new material based on interviews with dozens of practitioners at companies such as BP, Unilever, Intel, Ford, HP, and Saudi Aramco and organizations such as Roca, Oxfam, and The World Bank.
