REflections upon my training in Tg Keling Melaka


Update terakhir:

Salam.

This is my reflections upon 3 day team building course in Melaka.

  1. You must trust your friends a lot.

  2. Respect is gained not ..somthing that u can force others to do for you.

  3. Once you delegate a task , stay confident that s/he can do it for you .. never try to check and double check.

  4. In a school or a university, any staff came in into the organization after a series of interview. Therefore s/he is qualified to do what ever task assigned to her/him. Never think you are the only who can do it .. today and for ever. Else you will die very quickly as a Principal. (laugh)

  5. Leadership/ boundaries/ respect / control = all have the same meaning. In the government post, in the past, the boss is always the most senior staff. So just obey his commands. Soon when you get there .. u r the one who is going to give sets of new orders. Sop stay focus and be patient.

  6. Nowadays.. to be a leader .. you must be nominated by your colleagues in the faculty .. once u r selected .. just do the best that you can. Never mind if u got the least number of votes. Just act one the best that you can. The rest is history.

  7. Try to listen more to your juniours. Perhaps there are some truth in what they are saying. Listening is an art. Please listen more and think harder and do the decision. Decide on something that you are likely to plaese them the most. If you hate the decision, your staff will surely despise it too. So be sensible.

  8. If you assign a job, don’t try to check the completion of the task. take it as it is. We saw the clips where all the team just keep on watching, checking on someone tying a knot on the poles. Why can’t we do another set of task? If we do that ,, we can complete the misssion as quickly as possible. So far we were late all the time becuase every body is not confident with someone’s ability. We do back tracking all the time. Thats why we cannot proceed as quickly as possible.

  9. Try to forgive and forget our friend’s mistake. Take the mistake as the team’s lesson to improve better in the future. Never mention the mistake again. Did you see how maradona missed the penalty spot kick in the world cup? The argies quickly forget the miss .. and they got the World Cup in Italy 1990. So did Spain in 2010. They quickly forget the poor earlier games in the World Cup series. See? they won the CUP.

  10. Lastly, help our friends a lot. If you help him .. others will help you too. Cherish the nice things your friends had bestowed on you ..any small favours like .. a new idea of solving .. constructing a bridge from 2 pieces of short kind of wooden planks. If yiu smile with the idea .. sooner you can all solve the whole kind of problem out there in front of you.

TQ. I got a lot from the Team Building course run by Colonel Nik Zailani.

Wallahu aklam.
