In one way I am happy that Christmas, New year and the other celebration days are over for this time. This year was strange in the sence that I put myself in a Stand By position both privately and businesswise, and now I realize it was a good decision to do so.
I am a person that can´t be to long in the stand by mood, but with the right motivation, everything is possible. This year I had ( have) and still stay kind of stand by.
Some mixes from today thoughts.. in stupid combinations short cuts... ..
Today I put some energy and action into myself again and I have made some great purchase offers that I look forward to see where it goes. It can be good and it can be bad and in worse case it can be nothing. Nothing is not what I prefer, it is better to go for any of the others,at least there is something to negotiate about.
Today.. my mother for the first time discussed leadership with me.. since she obviously had a talk about my leadership and management skills with one of the guests outside the hotel while smoking..eh. .. she is kind of incredible.. but anyway.. We had a talk about it, me and her, and she all of a sudden reflected about her manager at the hospital and the way she was managing people and situations.
I decided to listen with new ears to my mother as I have never ever discussed this kind of things before since management is not her skill or have never been her interest ever... and I did.
I decided also just to listen to the feedback and dont give any comments back at all, just thanks for the reflection and advices. She wanted me to react and so on.. but I decided not to. Strange according to her... but not strange according to me. For heaven sake... it is kind of nice to stay silent now and then.... and since almost talk all the time... it was just great. Two ear and one mouth.... hehe... my best lover reminded me about it the other day.. and thanks for that too.
"Drive to Achieve" was one of the managment skills amongs other pointed out as critical in the management and leadership in my old company. Thank good.. it can also be a headline here in my blog.
Actually this skill needs to be used heavily here for the comings in both a lovely, smart and strategic way.
Today I did some real on the job training in this skills by managing purchase documents and offers with the clear goal what ot achieve. Puh... it is not to easy, and I wish I had my very best mentor to ask and support me, but unfortunately he is busy.. so.. I have to manage on my own.
Then you have to put your own fuel into the engine and start to drive... put yourself into the driver seat. No one else can do that but yourself.
At the moment, I am into something that I will make my best days and drive for the rest of my life. I am convinced, I am confident and I am happy about it.
Regarding cars... I have just experienced a brand new car together with a brand lovely person.
So I dedicate this Roxette song to the very best driver of that car.
Drive on...
