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.
