Personal Reflection
How political do you consider yourself?
I should be considered highly not political since in most case I am extremely direct in term of communication. Despite having good intent, it is seldom well received by the majority of the people because to a certain degree, agreeing to what I said means that they had been wrong all this while. This is something that is hard to stomach since it is something that they view as face losing. I also viewed everyone equally and the highly influential individual is not given any preferential treatment. Everything is strictly solved in the best interest of the company, the personal interest of any of the stakeholder is never viewed as something that should be satisfied.

Some of the negative people also realized that while people are praising them and plotting a mass retrenchment for them, I did the opposite, I lashed out at them publicly and demanded that they improve or leave. In the end, those that woke up their idea and turn the situation around found a new position elsewhere in the company while the rest who live in the beautiful stories painted by the restructuring director woke up to a pink slip. That is the general reason why I refuse to change much, I believe the most important thing is to be genuine and seriously show that you care. If they choose not to appreciate it, it is their
