As sales person, the most satisfying moment would be securing your sales and able to meet your target whilst for operation person, it would be when you are able to delivery excellence products. In fact both sales and operations are aiming the same dream that is to satisfy and meet their set goals. They both are important in servicing internal and external customers.
My current work position allows me to be in sales and operations at the same time which enable me to value the difficulties of both positions. In fact, it is the best position which one would to be as it really give you the maximum exposure in management of business.
When I reflect on my own organisation, I am proud to associate with team of dynamic people especially with proactive leaders or followers. I must say that going through past 12 years of corporate life, I have learned the pertinents of managing people but yet to obtain the mastery of it as human characters are the hardest to change. Yet, I have the opportunity to learn from the masters on how to swim with these difficult people and obtain the best from nothing.
Many would just want to care of themselves without even caring for others. Of course, we must care ourselves but at the same time we need to support and care for the people that sacrifices and care for us. To be a good leader, we need to be able to sacrifice more and be good supporter of our staff when they need most. Frustration at work looking from the level of commitment from staff is really at times painful from within so much so that we really hope that they would change for better tommorow.
Good staff who is committed will never show such attitude but will always work extra mile for our leader. Before judging others, we must ensure that we are the good staff that have the best stuff for our leader's needs.
Commitment comes from within not from without. When no commitment is made, there is no action to be taken. Thus, desired results will not be forthcoming. In life, there are a lot of expectation, wants, needs etc. When committed to one's goal, we must sacrifices or make arrangement to ensure other activities will not affect our main goals.
Well, in commitment of work to achieve success, we must be ready to make sacrifices. People say; no pain, no gain. Thus, no sacrifices, no success !
