Today I met up with three Great People.
JX and HJ came over, asked me to join them for lunch.
The two guys talked about soccer, MANCHESTER UNITED vs CHELSEA; also talked about nice "Bak Kut Teh" in JB.
I knew they talked about all these is to let me know, despite busy with tight work schedules, they relax and don't talk about work during lunch hours.
They always advise me to relax myself, take things easy.
When stepped into the office after lunch, their minds tuned very fast.
They started to talk about the conference call the other day and said will send an email to follow-up on those action items and set deadline.
I added ... People procrastinate and deadline helps.
With a deadline, actions move fast.
That is the Power of Deadline.
CY came to my room and said wanted to have a few minutes chat with me. The few minutes ended more than 60 minutes.
He observed that lately I was not as cheerful as before.
I knew he cares about me, so I provided him an update of those recent issues.
I could see that he was grateful that I broke the ice and shared my views with him.
He listened patiently, with an open mind and shared with me how he looked at those situations and how we can better manage such situations.
CY is experience and is knowledgeable. I listened as he talked.
I learned and gained alot from this meeting session.
It's valuable!
