Where to commence again
I’ve been inactive for so long… but that’s ok. I don’t know where to begin.
Work has been through ups and downs. Very busy, challenging and rewarding. Each person I manage is unique as you’d expect, but in a call centre there’s usually a mold of some kind that people fit in to. Not in this case.
The guys I work with are just some of the best people I have managed. All are motivated in their own way - either by their own need to drive improvement in others to deliver something better - or because they want to go somewhere and be someone. Granted there are some challenges - but I can’t say that any of them are unpleasant to work with.
For the first time I feel challenged intellectually by many of my staff. I feel like I have to meet their expectations - it’s demanding! Fun, and in a way intimidating. Who wants to be managed by a boss who could be as thick as two short planks?!
I did some personality testing stuff the other day for a course and I got a result which was 1 off what I believe I am and have tested for previously.
I like the idea of being out there, a little structured, but I’m not really ISFP - I really think I am an INFP -
Either way.. this suits who I feel I am.
So I’m personality tested up, I have one - and now I start doing this course. I’ll learn how to be a better coach and leader. In the mean time I plan a wedding.
Wedding preps kind of suck - I’ve started a different blog so my family and my Swede’s family can access it. If you want the URL, let me know and I’ll flick it to you by email.
I need sleep.
