About ways of seeing things...
During the past two weeks I have been closely connected to the business plan review process and all the involved activities: analyzing the global activity on the first half of 2008, justifying the number of hired persons, presenting the plans for the second half of 2008 and reducing budgeted costs (where from, only God knows). I have transformed live human beings into numbers - figures and percentages -; I have found numerous areas where the human effort was not properly measured; I have found a lack of transparency and visibility which led to my team having a bad image within the organization.
During this time I have found areas from which to cut peanuts. It seems that we need a certain ratios on paper so what I have done was to make sure that we reach the respective ratios. However the way it was put the entire idea was in a certain way... This lack of visibility which I have mentioned earlier it sure does impact a great deal over the current actions and credibility.
Nonetheless, things are moving into the good direction now - all we need is time to show it. And I still have something to learn where letting go is concerned.
BTW: have I told you that this week we will celebrate our first year of marriage?
