Today just marked at the end of Strat class 3a under Prof Adel, was just reflecting on the last 5 weeks of my life, the things i've done right, the things i have done not- so-right, what i should let go, what i should hold true.
Done right
entered this course wanting to contribute the best i could to the group and ace as much of the course as possible
Getting a better insight to how strategy relates to real life and a qualitative description of how strategic dynamics work
Wanting to share my experiences with strategy and get a beyond finance perspective to strategy
Not-done-so-right
Being too aggresive in wanting to achieve the grade
Taking on a poor attitude when i did not agree with others
Conveying the message subconciously to others that they won't up to
Saying "No" to a person's view, should learn to act graciously and not discount the person's view with a negative comment.
Rigidly sticking to a mould and not willing to change ( until my team mate advised me too.. thanks ben, appreciate it =)
What to let go
Not thinking how to phrase my words before i speak
Not giving a fast answer and not value adding by delaying an answer
Being too task oriented and not focusing on the teammates around me, not seeing a sliver lining in every person
What i should cling on to
Willingness to accept mistakes and change
Observing what's going around me and adjusting to the situation
Appreciating other ppl's efforts and commending them regardless of whether they produced the most favourable outcome from my perspective /or not.
Learn to set expectations at the start, preferably on an informal basis.
