busy week

been a busy but fulfilling week.

have not felt so for a very very long time. and last week, i decided that i need to kick myself a bit and thus planned for a couple of activities in nov. also decided to do a mid-year consolidation for my area for the company. no requirement to do it, but thought it would be useful when we start to do budgeting for next year in 2-3months time. 

and with this, both my staff and myself got busy. and she felt very good about it. it was something that we have not felt for a very long time. and frankly, the teamwork was so seamless we were able to do lots of stuff without the need for briefings and another. it was like clockwork. and it felt good. and interestingly, amidst the new tasks we created for ourselves, the top man wanted to conduct a companywide town hall. and guess what, once the direction came, we got everything settled and co-ordinated within 15mins! easy peezy.

that was how effective we were as a team! to a small degree, i felt a little sense of regret when my staff reflected - well, we needed to work out the details and it took us quite an effort to organise a town hall when we first started, but now, it was so easily done. she had formally tendered and will be leaving by year-end. then again, positively speaking, and not from a corporate-speak angle, i am glad she had had a good and learning experience with me. she had grown and matured professionally in this one and a half year and from a personal front, i am glad she is moving on.
