TSD Day120: Politics: Its more than what it seems…
Today I went to Gleneagles. Nice place! Visited the office,
Also interviewed Shanon. The coffee there is really not bad! =)
Discussed with Shanon a little on the company and interests
and such. Also he have pretty good comments on the book I am
currently reading: The 7 habits of highly effective people.
Went back to office after that to finish more interviews! Intend
to go to Luwan and Jin Qiao tomorrow to do more interviews for
Dr. Seah’s presentation. Interviewd Dr. Fred, Anna and more.
During the time in office, I see Dr. Seah’s executive assistant,
taking over Denise: Claire. I also had a bit of a chat with Dr. Seah.
He shared with me a little on gaining knowledge, little things that
made a big difference: to lunch with different people everyday!
In the evening, I had a meal with Caren! Have to thank her for the
treat she gave me. We discussed a lot of issues in the company
and she shared with me alot of her personal experiences she gained
prior to coming to the company. I felt that I have gained another
new perspective and that I begin to see how the different issues
in the company fit in.
I begin to see why certain people respond to certain people differently
and how they can have different personal agenda. Although i know
this it is important to understand the dynamics (aka Politics) in the
company, I will keep the bigger picture in mind. Shall use the
understanding of these issues to my advantage.
