Iron Pen

Don't commit so easily till you see the black and white.. This is to save the embarassment you might encounter for overpromising too much..

Criticism

Think before you criticise someone. how would you feel if you are the one being criticise? think along that line.. common sense jason!

Building Expectations

The past 2 days, i have been interviewing 11 interns from tp. Some of the interview i felt that i shouldn't have build up the hype of getting the positions to the candidates. why? this might had created an unnecessary expectation or they might think i am hinting to them that they will get the position. so when it's time to break the bad news to them, their world really crush. i tot by getting all excited will be good for them, but actually it's kinda detrimental in the end. inevitably i am harming them more than doing them good. so i learnt that next time when i do an interview, i should have play down the possibility of them getting hire until i am very sure they will get the position. at least the disappointmnt won't be that big when the bad news arrive at their doorstep.

jason, don't try to please everyone. it's not always good to be hero.

Baby Steps

It's been a huge learning curve since I last joined this resort. From an intern to an asst dept head straight is really a huge jump. Now i realise why FS doesn't promote too fast. When they mention the person is not ready, not i understand what it mean, so i think i do. To be really honest with myself, i know i ain't a capable enough full fledge dept head. there's still MANY things i need to work on. I always think i got it lucky for being where i am at this point in time. 24? a dept head alr? it's a good feeling to know that now you can go around telling people you are the manager of a well established company, but deep down, i know i still do not possess enough qualities as a manager. sometimes i feel as though i am still an intern. i know this mindset has to go. i need to break this mental block of me still being an intern. Everyday i learn something new, ok, not everyday, but stil i learn things that will be an essential to become a top notch manager one day. alright. maybe in 4 years time. therefore, comes the starting of this blog. i have been procrastinating keeping a journal of all the lessons i learnt through my "managerial stinct", so it's time to make a difference. i need to jot down all those impt lessons that i went through and learn from all the minor or major mistakes i make. it's either now or never!
