Introduction
I work for Metro Minds, a TETA (Transport Education Training Authority) accredited training provider based in Glen Marais, Kempton Park. The institution is a medium-sized company, with a workforce of 27 employees over four branches. Because Metro Minds is not a “large” entity, there is plenty of room for innovation and transformation.

Patience is key in the workplace, if you have an idea of where you desire to be within your organisation of employment – you may have to endure patience in order to land the position. Patience may simply be having to wait on suppliers to deliver stock on time. Building long lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers and stakeholder requires trust, trust which is time bound and demands
