My leadership from others' perspective

 Hello all! Feeling like having more festive moods already mai ka?

Next Tuesday, my podcast episode follows a request from my honorary podcast technician ka. She said she'd love to hear what others thought about my leadership. Without much thinking, I agreed to do it as the final episode before the overall conclusion ka. 

It was sort of challenging but knowing that nothing would do anyone any harm was really great ka. So I chose 3 people, a team member from my Ministry of University Affairs days when I first started working in a leadership position as director of international cooperation, the second from Fulbright Thailand, and the third was a Fulbright's Board member ka.

My selection was based on how one chooses the person(s) to write recommendations ka....those who know me quite well and straightforward.....yet, know how to talk about our weaknesses in the subtle เนียน ๆ way ka 5555!

I didn't expect much at all and it was so fun listening to their reflections ka. 

On the whole, my former team members thought of me about creativity and opportunities given. One said my weakness was that I wasn't fit for a government service career (it showed that clearly na ka nia! I didn't realize it much at all until I joined Fulbright kaaa!) and that being so much focused on international cooperation details, I didn't touch on the planning side at the macro level sufficiently.

My Board Member talked too nicely about me....really kind of him ka. I learned what the expectations of the Board were ka......he expected the COO to listen to the Board's suggestions and wanted the person to prepare well to be able to readily offer the most related info for the Board's decision making. He highlighted the need to seek friends and allies on the Board to make it easier to work efficiently and effectively ka. 

Would you want to have this similar exercise if you've already retired or well before your retirement about your leadership mai ka? Yes or no and why ka? Sanuk dee ka.

Happy long weekend ka.
