THE WISE MAN HAD SPOKEN

"what's the definition of a leader?" someone asked
and the wise man replied " as long as u have a follower, u are a leader"
steady lor
*clap clap*

wise man was saying "as u rise in your rank, be contended with being graded as a band 3 or 4 by ur boss"
why u may asked
wise man will tell u "if ur boss ranked u band 1 or 2 every yr, sooner or later, your boss would have to schedule u for a promotion, then does it mean tt ur boss has to vacant his seat so tt u can take over?"
and u suddenly sees the light
wise man will then continued "imagine u r ACEO, every yr, the CEO ranked u 1 or 2, within 2 yrs he will have to schedule u for a promotion, then does it mean tt he has to quit as the CEO so tt the ACEO can take over his place?? then everybody can be CEO.....tts why, when u r at a certain level, u will just have to be contended every yr with the grading your boss assessed you"

ppl complaining tt A got grade X and B got grade Y and dun understand why they only got Z
cheong into boss's room and demanded an acceptable reason
wise man shaked head and said "ok, i have a list of projects here, rated from almost impossible to chicken feet, if i would to tell u, ur grading will depend on which project u choose and undertake, would u choose the almost impossible one or the chicken feet? bearing in mind tt if u can run the almost impossible project with minimum guidance and smoothly from pre to post contract stage, ur grading will definitely be top in the list, and vis versa for chicken feet project, which one will u choose?"
and then ppl finally see the light....its not how good u can run the show...but how good u can handle the complex project....
so dun go ard complaining tt u deserve the promotion and not xxx or yyy, coz did u undertake the almost impossible project or the chicken feet one?

the wise man had spoken..

CLOSED UP SESSION

today had a 1 to 1 closed up session with big boss
hm...everybody was excited to have this session with her
but i was like immune???!!??
i mean just talk mah. what so special?

anyway, she finally came and called me for a session today
think i was lucky coz today most of them went over to the other side for a talk
so office not left with many staff for her to have the session

i was asked whether am i happy here = of course i am...in terms of work, colls, bosses...not the engineers though (ok la, not all tt irritating, some are nice ppl)
happy with work = seriously, though i get to do more work over here, but, i am fine with it...coz i dun really like to run the projects, i rather check on ppl's work....lolz...so doing the ecas to me are still ok, JUST DUN ASK ME TO WRITE PAPER!!!
any problem encounter at work = so far so good. but still need to brush up on human skills...u know as in handling the "crazy" ppl and controlling my fiery temper with them
i was told tt eventually the manager looking over me for a particular project will be phased out and i will be regarded as the LEAD for the project. *scary lor* i think i must really buck up on this.....big boss said i can send emails and keep her in the loop, so that the project team will know tt they better dun hanky panky ard...lolz
i have to be super sensitive with this grp of ppl i was told "culture they are in and the culture we are in are different. they just do what they feel like doing and we must be there to set the records rite" steady lor....i am now police officer....kekeke
and finally, i was tasked another assignment...swee.....well done!! and big boss still asked me "ok? ok or not? can?" really want to reply her "u mean can choose?" lolz
ok, bad joke...

after the session, big boss was busy typing away and few mins later, i saw the review
she said tt i am learning the ropes and i am someone who dares to voice out what i think...omg!! good or bad???!!!??
hm...then i gathered from someone tt i should have asked her how big boss viewed me.....
which i thought, its very valid...at least i know where i am being rated in my big boss's pt of view....
as the saying goes "there's always room for improvement"
*wink*
