Diary of a CEO

Memory Lost

It happend again, the unstable system cause what I've been written missing when push the publish button; this is truly a frustration situation, because you never can re-write what you said and spending the same amont of time to make it up - especially when this fault cause by others.

I just want to summerize what I can remembered; Thursday morning, when had my breakfast at Howard Plaza Hotel KS, I ran into newly recruited sales manager, as we didn't see each other the day before at the sale meeting, the breakfast is a good chance to build some itimancy.

Reading the " The Workshop Book " on the way back to office, flipping the book and found some tools to be adapted on Monday's strategic meeting, it's been 4 and half years, our company develop a " question raising " " challenge answers "" Dept. own their problem " the silo mentality created some unpleasant working relationship among dept. I wish I can be the moderator to introduce a real " Conensus workshop ", to accomplish this goal, practicing the " Workshop book " and seeking IWNC's help providing " Team Building " Training is in my plan, I am not sure what will be changed, but at least, I know this is what I must do and what I want to.

Thursday night dinner with Christian, an offical introduction to my wife - potentially manager to her, as Typhoon Marsha approaching, the heavy rain and strong wind force people cancel their dinner appointment, it turned out to be only 3 of us, on table in the French restaurant. To visit her parent is the mission we want to conduct after dinner. the appointment was arrange at one little cafe' at her neighboring. I saw the faimly, her father, mother and younger sister - a girl hungry to be a new anchor.

Christine's parent is not in fond of her decision to be an artist; me and my wife didn't convince them this is a good career and bright future for their daugher, but to honest explain to them the advange and disadvange to have a star in their family , and inform them the success rate is about 10 percent only. Me and my wife explore what we know to them and wish the family can build some consensus before engaging in entertainment world. we will wait and see.

City Government announce a Typhoon day off by 10 pm on Thursday night. I take a longer sleep on Friday morning until Tsu Shu high shool call for picking up Fruit. this is her first day home after on week of domitary life.

Receive calls for lunch and meeting after, I didn't take the full advantage of typhoon holiday, lunch with J. inform her the Side Project business lincense granded, then I gradually capture her picture of how to leverage Kororo -- but this is not what I visioned in short, I can't make up any story simply for seduce innocent investor. I wish to discuss with Cathy before take her suggestion an action to follow; to be honest, I am not feeling comfortable.

Meeting at PTS with Chairman Chen and GM Fu, although due to typhoon , the PTS group management consultaning meeting postphoned, but Mr. Chen asked if I can go over and chat with them, this is to reassure my visibility to the potential management role at PTS group. as the thing developed, I am open to this vancany more serious than before, this is a strange feeling that I am forcing to take the possible " not the best " career decision by Oct.

Problems at current company increase, business going down, I don't see the improvment in the existing business, 2 new initative jerpordize as well, they hardly survive, first community service set a target way beyond the real world, the second service trapped in a serious system / technical problem, We fail to meet the launch day for 1 and half months and at the same time, identify the curl truth - our ventor could not deliver.

Change of Chairman of the board is not a symbolic paper arrangement, newly elected ( there never be an election, but a consensus before the meeting ) chariman wish to involve in our operation in depth, to me this is an interruption and harrasment also, I have to devleop a mindset of " Games " before I get upset. the worsen financial situation cause me thinking of outside world before some dirty job came to me again, I hate to be the proxy of laying off / resturcture again.

Friday night, ignoring the typhoon, we brougth the family to the movie " Wonka's chacolate factory " a Tim Burdon ( Beetle Juice ) and --- Jonny Depp ( I forgot his name ) corporation create the imagination juice to us, we enjoyed the film very much, as it promot the family value with a fun approching, no preaching and no harshing; I love the bridge they design at the film, whenever there is a naughy kid end up with bad fortune by his / her bad attitude or behavior; the little drawf will assemble and singing one song - the genre were crafted - Beatles / Queen / Funck .... I love it. the ending of the movie tells one truth out of all truth -- There's nothing presious then Family in the world. you see how difficult for Wonka to pronounced the word " Parent "

Discuss with my wife about the future ahead of us, she share the same worries as I did, the dramatic thing happen before closing our conversation is decided to move the hugh budda statue to her family, she told me how happy I made this decision as the Budda stand in our living room for 6 years, it's a heavy duty for her, since we treated it as an antique, but it might be wrong, we should send to someone who love to offering , even it is no longer a religious symbol. then I may think how to alter the place.
