I finally found motivation in my new workplace!
To be frank, I am still, not inspired by my current reporting manager. Haha. I have always felt that the greatest motivation at work is to be able to work under a highly esteemed manager, someone who can inspire you to perform and move forward. Such managers exist in my previous employments. I wasn’t impelled at all during the past three weeks at work. Laziness began to set in and I became less productive.
Back to The Drive.
We have weekly meetings with our Head of Department. I joined this meeting for the first time today. This HOD leads a few teams including my team (the Workflow team), the SAP team, the B2B team and the Java team. That is all the teams I could remember for now hehe.
What is so great about him? For one, he could talk non-stop with no nonsense at all. Every word that came out of his mouth was either informational or something that could put you in deep thoughts. Secondly, he knows his teams very well and the projects that they do from bottom up. I realised this during a previous meeting that we had with our CIO (chief information officer) earlier this week. There was a small conflict of interest during the meeting. To make it short, our CIO wasn’t too impressed by what team X was doing, he had expected faster delivery and he could not understand what was so difficult with the project. Mr HOD defended team X, with very detailed information about the project. At that time, the only thing that came through my mind was, How could he remember every detail so well? I mean, as a HOD who has so many teams under his wings, ah.. Lastly, I kind of admire his management ability or ummm, philosophy? He is one who does not believe 100% in Customer is always right, although the Company’s motto is CITOP (customer is top) haha. He believes in his team, very very much. He encourages us, the technical people to drill down into the business in order to deliver a good solution. This.. I know very well already but he made it sounded more important that I have to continue working to achieve this!
