It’s been a long time since I took charge of a team and led, I found I hadn’t lost my touch, three staff down and the busiest day we have had at work so far and this was very much my litmus test.
I got compliments like “we’re blitzing it, we’re going to be just fine without G” and “Don’t lose it now, you’ve been a star all day” along with others told me I was doing a good job, I’m tired as hell right now and for an hour was the only person in the entire office handling everything.
I like it when it gets like that, my ability to process dozens of thoughts at once means I suit situations like that, I drive people, I motivate the team by competition, “let’s kick the other office’s ass today” and “we spend on average one minute longer on the phone per call than the other team and it’s US that keeps this place running” I like to tell people they CAN do it, you WILL get your target today, I believe in us and I know we can do it.
It was nice after what has been a hard week to hear people say that despite how busy it’s been they have had fun.
It was a worth while day, a satisfying one too but boy I need a drink now!
