This year, I decided to focus more on project things so I am expecting many group meetings sooner or later. Besides that, my progress in dissertation is so slow which makes me freak out all the time. I am planning to finish it by February so that I can focus on the other essays that have to be submitted in March. Well, I hope I won't break my plan!
I went for SME group meeting yesterday and I could tell there was fire between me and one of the team members. We were fighting against 'centralization'. I understood what she wanted to say but I just felt that the term 'centralization' did not fit well. Well, the story is that we have to comment, analyse and evaluate the current and future strategy of Zara. So, I think an internal analysis for the company is essential but they seemed didn't care much. Okay, I then strongly suggested that we had to do it and they agreed with it after all. That was happened in the first meeting. One of the girl in the team is from Bulgaria, I find that her character is very strong. She wants everyone to follow what she said and she is sort of the 'demand' kind of people. I am glad that our team have one of this person so that the team won't be so passive all the time. However, the dark side of this is that the people is too demanding and she kind of loves something complicated. I don't understand why she wanted to do regression analysis in a 5 slides power point presentation. She has made the whole thing so complicated. I don't mind if she really wanted to do it, but then again, why made thing so complicated since you can make it in a more simple way?
Anyway, I can't say that is all about her problem. Me, myself also, since I am always been categorize in the stubborn side. I should be more opened and one thing I find very important is that I need to improve my English and also the knowledge, otherwise, I could have lost the argument next time (the argument was a draw). I need more evidence and knowledge to support my view so that I can win over her next time!
The other collusion I draw from this experience is that don't be so insist in a particular thing. Spaces should be made among the team members. Since that team-working is so important these days, I believe this would be the best opportunity for me to learn as how to be a team member.
The other thing I gonna tell is that I dreamed about I was almost being eaten by a salmon. WTH. I know it sounds so funny but I think I must have eaten too much salmon so it is now trying to take revenge on me. I remember I even shouted it out and woke up. But I fell asleep again after 30 seconds. Well, sweet dream huh ...
