The Seminar Itself

We had another 3 chapter seminar on Supervision...it took me a half-day..4 hrs...at that to department heads and team leaders...the discussion was more lively in a sense but you know more about people being passive in Trainings and seminars...most of them just sat there with glassy eyes...making me wonder If they understood the things that I have just discuss in my lecture...then again hopefully they were able to internalized and get something out of the experience...

Networking on the Job

The new challenge for me now is how to network my duties and responsibilities in relation with the overall management of a manufacturing plant...although I was used to just managing or handling a single department...HR ...but now my new job has to be able to look out for IT, ACCTG, MKTG, HR, PURCHASING...i need to evolve in the way I have to cope with these various duties...and the bussword for me would be networking...I need to network with the rest of the departments such as TQD, PRODUCTION, and PRDT...thats the challenge that I have to deal with...I don't think that its a difficult one...its more of a heightened awareness of what the right hand and left hand is doing...the need for the right information for the right people at the right time...so much for that stuff...work is starting to get the best of me...I guess that's normal for somebody who is new in the organization and needs to make a mark on others...how one could help and be integrated as a part of "them"...

Presentations at a Staff meeting

It was quite a very busy week for me because I had to prepare a short presentation for the staff meeting wherein I had to discuss new concepts such as down sizing, re-engineering, kaizen, lean manufacturing, performance management, and cost controls with other staff in order to bring them up to date with these concepts so that it would be more clearly emphasize to them...being a top executive keeps me aware of such needs to inform the members of the organization of the new concepts of management...the meeting started off well with my presentation while the interactive nature of the discussion brought the CEO and The VP for administration to take the microphone to discuss other matters with the staff related to the topics that I have discussed...I was able to prepare a power point presentation in the nick of time...part of the discussion was also done on the past six months of operations wherein I have collected a number of data such as sales orders, shipped orders, production output, manpower profile, stockroom issuances, and other pertinent data...to guage the company's performance for the past few months...But I guess the meeting went quite well because as I have learned that it was the first time that we had a staff meeting done with a power point and that impressed top management because the meeting was quite focus and deliberate...the meeting also presented an improvement with the past meeting and clearly shows my trade mark because I was pushing others to learn new presentation skills so that a more professional outlook could be attained...I know that with this development...my bosses are quite happy, fulfilled, and satisfied that we have improved from the previous meetings...I am also happy that I was able to contribute to its success...I am challenged with the opportunity to prove my worth for the job...
