clarify, understand, peruse

There have been things I have tried to investigate and understand better, but I am not getting much information up till this point in time. I am not sure why it is taking so long for feedback but I feel we have taken pro-active steps to seek answers.

I thought about how the answers will affect things. If we want to move ahead, the focus becomes increasingly important. We will post the questions up for open discussion tomorrow; should we not receive a feedback electronically by today. We have wanted to approach it discretely, but I think we will have to resort to more explicit means. It’ll be an amicable discussion - for the purpose of clarification.

Ultimately we want to understand how certain decisions were made, what the expectations are and what the team’s direction is.

It should not be that difficult to answer I reckon?

Taking a leadership position is not an easy task. As I look at how tpl leads our finance team, I must applaud her for a job pretty well done. from the way she handled the tusra treasurer position; understanding the situation from 3 sides, it is impressive. During our department meeting, she shared with all the struggles and difficulties faced during audit.. she set the timeline for reporting for the next 3 months and gave us broad view of what is required from the department. There were some operational issues raised and she advised us to collect concrete information and quantify the issues. This will aid when we want to gather departments for a meeting to iron processes out, at least we will not be pointing at blank air making accusations. =) to me that is a very sound and proper way to approach problems.

Leading a department requires transparency. It requires clear direction and communication. I find my perspective of tpl changed a lot after working next to her for the last 6 months. I’ve learnt a lot and these will be valuable experience that will path my way to a bigger role.
