It's Thursday and I am feeling tired for the week already. It had been very full and taxing for the past 3 days. I had internal trainings but I skipped some of it because there were just other urgent matters to attend to.
Yesterday I received a white envelop. The content wasn't filled with good news. It added on to my list of challenges. One of my senior team member wants to resign for a change of environment and better offered. I thought to myself if there were areas where I left out or not being understanding them (another one resigned last month and will be leaving in a few days' time).
While I was out of the company for a year (I changed job and came back), many things happened and all were accumulated. There were misunderstandings and the unhappiness in them was growing in them as the days passed. I know they are extremely sensitive and egoistic people. Perhaps the way I handled them wasn't as desired even though I "closed one eye" on small matters or doings by them. Or perhaps my style of working put them in a pressure cooker which they are not used to.
People management is really challenging. Each of everyone of us have different attitude and personality. My boss told me that I am having the most challenging job right now. I guess I need to have a helicoptic view at times and learn more in managing a team - a team of prima donnas.
