Challenges - with the intention to be solved

So first challenge at the hotel. I am sometimes to hot, to eager and to quick to go for decisions and solutions. I know. On the other hand.. i am not afraid of dealing with conflicts, with problems and challenges.

To walk around and assume things, build up a frustration and make a storm in a waterglass is definately not my thing. At the end some people make their minds the truth and that is almost always very dangerous and waste of energy.

Honestly... I am very much proactive to challenges and that means you have to be two step ahead and kind of risk oriented. My favourite expression in Software Development is " Fail Fast". If I am supposed to fail I would better do it soon enough and also before I have spent a fortune in some non important or non profitable project.

Yesterday I had that thought. I need to deliver some very non comfortable truths, coaching but also information to be able to put things on the table

One of the best questions to repeat sometimes is .. " what is the problem" and "what is the real problem" ?

Mostly by asking this several times, you come to the right problem wihinsome time. But it is damn hard sometimes to open up and be honest. And mostly.. you blame a lot of consequenses to be the reason and that is not very clever. And third mostly... the problem is yourself. Your own way of thinking and your own way of dealing with things.

To work in a small company is a huge challenge I have written before. It is worth some investment to agree on your values, your behaviours but also your attitude to things to do, how to act and also how to communicate.

One example is about the a very hot thing, talking in cell phone during working hours. To some people it is very obvious that there is no cell phone use during working hours, and to some not. who is paying for this extra time?

In this company, we cant afford spending time on arguing about if it is ok or not, neither afford the cell phone use, we just state it in some common values, it is not ok.

It will not or should not be such a big deal to handle it. To me at least.

To have a HR responsibility takes an effort and strength that is underestimated. I love it. The combination of high performing, happy satisfied people and a well profitable company is so great.

I will make sure we have great metrix to evaluate that this will be the truth. Some of it is already in place, now it is just the rest.

Money talks....
