Hard-driving job

A

“If a person feels free to openly complain about and/or insult their domestics in public, imagine how they treat those same domestics in the confines of their own home.

Q

If you’re new to an industry, don’t cower at networking events or do the “smile-and-nod” when you’re speaking to someone with deep industry expertise. Instead, use every interaction as an opportunity to learn.

Q

I organise my waking moments in chunks, usually going by a single week at a time. For me, having work-life balance is important, and I always make it a point to prioritise and have time for family, friends and myself. I believe a person should endeavour to have balanced time for family, work, networking, and personal quiet and reflective moments.
Work will never be done. So help yourself and learn to prioritise. Find very smart subordinates and delegate your work.

A

I have been very blessed and fortunate not to have encountered many particularly challenging situations. If I did, it was more of the wrong job fit and scope of work. These were transitory periods so I made sure they didn’t last too long.

Q

For me, talking things over with people I trust like my family and close confidantes has always been
an invaluable stress-buster. When things get really hectic, I go for jogs or walks to clarify my thoughts. I also set aside some quiet time for personal reflection.
If all else fails, a long hot bath after physically exhausting exercise goes a long way!

A

Being passionate about my work and deriving pleasure from it is one of the ways that I manage stress.

Q

Be driven by passion. You can be a success in anything you are passionate about. Lacking passion will result in mediocre performance. The moment you dread Monday and going back to work, it’s time to change jobs. Either find ways to enjoy what you do, or do what you enjoy. Once you take joy out of the formula, you are condemning yourself to living hell.

A

One step at a time, one thing at a time”. Thinking about three assignments will just paralyse the mind. Work out the actions needed for each assignment and list them all down. Sort the actions by priority. Then just do them one at a time. The mind
can only focus on one thing at a time. There is no such thing as multi-tasking. You are merely switching from one thing to the next and back again. It is counter- productive, energy-sapping and time- wasting.

Q

Not everyone gets a chance to talk frequently with senior leaders. Hearing a strategic, higher-level perspective on the company, industry and growth in the market from the CEO, helps employees see they’re part of something larger and think beyond their day-to-day activities. It also gives the team a chance to polish how they frame questions and how they talk about their own work.
