So much difference from the latter. In the past, we all fronted mgmt directly, without fear, seriously what's there to fear? the bosses added on, or corrected, no need to waste time to rehearse. i din know the answer until joined the new div. sigh..why mus shelter? V weird measure and to think that big boss feedback to boss with eh u shld manage ur staff? Dotz....this is the gen gap...where is the freedom of speech? Say anything wrong, nvm, jus clarify like today. Why are there such caution taken to make sure the staff speak the "right" thing? N the boss will jump and say no no no and then quickly cover it all up. Like cant they jus say, no actually it is not right to the staff and all, it should be... Like jus correct explicitly la, why need to secretly and hastily cover up as if u have commited a crime. And pls do not give the vibes of fingerpointing. Wrong wrong, admit to the mistake, dun signal, next time dun say anything.....crap leh, what kind of guidance is this? Like nobody else thinks it is a grave mistake except you, trying so desperately to cover and put down the staff in front of all.
Today, im more willing to support the leaders. And besides everyone of us chip in, spoke and fill in the gaps. Doesnt matter if it is wrongly explained due to misinterpretations or simply wrong info. Well managed really. When u admit ur mistakes, pple are also more receptive and will not blame u. Imagine ur own team mates doing the "shit u shouldnt have said that" to u. What do u learn at the end? Not to speak again next time lor. Stupid culture.
Since sec sch, i alr condemn the graders coming to the school and grading the unit's performance. First we know the date of grading, secondly we know the criteria of grading. So everything that day was acted out. And then the unit gets the gold medal. Anything to be proud of? Yes u acted well. Despicable. So the whole year, the other 51 wks, i dun care how u manage the unit, u r jus assessed on that day. Why mus we do such ridiculous acting? What do u learn at the end. Nothing, except to wayang. Horrible culture which i will nv follow. U want to grade a unit, u grade them unaware and over a few times. Why do we learn to take average empirical values in science labs? There is a reason for it.
Why need to be so in control, to paint this rosy picture, a fully wayang show? What is the explicit goal? A great team in acting? To be perceived that u have a strong team? Note the word perceive. Or u shld be displaying how u have managed a diverse team, putting pple in the right job and delivering every outcome as a team. Does it matter if u have every strong individuals who when put together cant perform? Shouldnt u let pple be, embraces the diverse styles, and the individual may not look like a gem, but when they are put together, they are a wondrous sight. Cant u stop moulding individuals into the gem u wanted to be polished? And especially polished the way u wanted, worse than jus polished at the side he/she wanted to.
A wonderful team and a wonderful experience is like today, i hope there r more of such mtgs. Where there is learning value and most imptly, u feel good coming out of it, all ready to polish the slides even with late discussions. Everyone fought and persevered together.
