Nov 23 2006 --- Which am i ?


looking back ... hmmm ... it's been like slightly more than 3 years into the working force with an assortment of jobs that i went into ... hmmm ... stocktake a bit ... every job is different ... ya lah ... i think i m always changing jobs ... but amidst that ... the thing is ... had i been a different employee in each one ??

someone said ... there are generally 3 kinds of employees in an organisation ... and they will definately live up to their NAMES ...

the first type of employee make things happen ...
the second type sit and watch things happen ...
the third type duno wat is going to happen ...

examples of each is Mr Yeo ... Mr Gut and Mr Cheong ...

so who is which ?? need some clues ?? maybe their name will help ... their name all same ... all one word call Tao ... yup ... suddenly quite easy to match liao rite ??

first type of coz is our Mr Cheong Tao ...
second type is Mr Gut ... coz everytime sit at Gut Tao and watch things happen ...
third type left Mr Yeo liao ... everything also per his name ... just Yeo Tao ...

hmmm ... i think i have done all 3 before ... i was Mr Cheong during my first job doing credit collections ... Mr Yeo at my second job doing management support ... and Mr Gut at my third job doing tax ... yup ... i do believe that environment is critical in shaping the culture of a workplace and eventually affects the kind of employees that emerge from there ...

Mr Cheong comes when the flexibility and authority is given ... one would feel the power to go ahead and make decisions ... that promotes leadership and ownership in job duties ... it give pride and sense of belonging to a certain entity ... that is important to make a person give his best ...

Mr Yeo comes in when there is insufficient training ... bad management relationships ... dictative instructions ... lack of explanations ... in a sense ... when u dun feel the motivation to know the rationale behind things u r doing ... u end up knowing nothing ...


Mr Gut comes from comfort zone ... that's when the environment is comfortable and one is reluctant to change or to take the initiative to change ... one will just sit back and accept watever inevitable changes that comes along the way ... make a liitle adjustment then slide back into the comfort zone again ...

hmmm ... at least that was wat i think i went through ... hmmm ... now is fourth job le ... hahaha ... who will i be now ?? maybe there shld be another class called Mr Zho ?? =Pp
