Training proteges can be daunting

Be better than before, than yesterday...

There are two proteges who have worked with me for the past two decades.  I have negotiated for them two major projects that amount to  10 numbers.  Probably  much much more than what I have worked for in the last 40 years.

However this post noticed certain weaknesses thast need correction:

     1  Need follow up;   need self direction and initiative

     2.  Always looking up to the mentor or me.   Be the authority or the mentor

     3   Entertaining self doubts or discouragement

     4.  Being fixated by small things /problems that drain their energy

     5.   Limited options and lack of creativity and innovation

     6.  Lack of clarity of lifes purpose

     7.  Need to be audacious and brave

I wonder how these can be developed.  otherwise they cant move forward.  They must develop these to move forward

Being patient with host citizens of a tourist destination

It is about getting better...

It was the third time to be in this country.   My impression of the country in 2011 and last week did not change.   The food servers and hotel staff that I encountered lacked the Customer Service that we teach our staff and which we experience in PHL

The sentiment was experssed by a kababayan whom we had a chance to converse with in a restaurant in a reort park.   We had to endure that maltreatment if in our lifetime we had to experience the country.  

The advice by some bloggers is to be patient with theme and to focus seeing the attraction and igrnore these little irritation.   

The counry needs tourists to boost its economy.   And they are in a state of turmoil iwth most foreign companies exiting China (they are part of PRC now)
