i had to support and make presentations to quite a few town halls lately. it was rather stressful for the fact that all the town halls seemed to come together at about the same time.
this development was an interesting and enlightening one for me as i came to learn that my predecessor had never done such presentations before. i also learned that my predecessor didn't have good relationships with the businesses and this affected my team's morale and effectiveness. the lack of guidance and leadership also saw my staff being made to take blames unfairly when things went wrong. i was thankful that the businesses were open to me and we ended up having a very good working relationship. this saw a direct increase the collaboration between my team and the businesses which in turn resulted in enhanced morale amongst my team.
feels good that these are energising my team really well.
Hi Jeffrey,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the town halls went well. They can be challenging especially if there are pent up issues or resentments. Better to have good communications than gossip and conspiracy theories. Especially at the line level. "No guts no glory" ;-)
Best regards, Edwin
Hey Edwin,
ReplyDeleteYes, that was what I was afraid of. Thankfully, it went smooth. The challenge now is to execute the plans effectively. Hope things are well on your side!
