The past week have been extremely hectic in the office. There are so many deliverables & preparation work needed for the upcoming regional conference. Unlike while i was in the country team, i find my brains working alot harder, thinking of how to position statements & messages to senior staff, cracking my head over the scope of the agenda. I must agree that alot more strategic input is required, vs the operational requirements i was exposed to back in the country team. Of course, in hectic times is also when u get to realise who are the competent folks & who aren't...Someone made me this comment today - does it mean that when u are incompetent, u can get away with "murder"? I guess fustration must have clouded this person's mind when the comment was made but well, it indeed got me thinking... How very true. Why are there still incompetent folks floating around, getting away with shoddy work & lacklustre contributions? Does it mean that if i were to be less competent, i can have less work on my plate & get away with responsibilities too? I don't know about that but i suppose the issue lies with pride & integrity. While i do believe that one needs to cleverly master the art of "tai-ji" at work, there needs to be a fine balance b/w passing off YOUR responsibility & taking on unnecessary work.
Life's gonna be hell for the next 1 month. I need to review thru 5 decks of reports from the consultant and decipher what's needed for the conference. I wish myself luck... The laptop is my best friend over the upcoming weekends.
