"Congratulation, Grace!" my beautiful ex boss congrats me happily,"I believe that it's a suitable job for you. It would be challenging, right?"
"Amen, Ms," I replied.
"Later you'll feel what I feel when managing your subordinates," she added.
"Hahaha, I just wish that I could be as patient as you, Ms. Kathleen," I answered her statement.
We were hugging and some of my friends also congrats me at that time. They and me myself wished that this time, I could work for a long time because we know exactly that working for only couple of months is kindda habit for me ;p
It's been almost a month since I work as an Education Manager in one of famous music school in the world.. And the fact is, being a manager means being an annoying person.I may not be too good and I still have to make them do what I order to them. I need to earn their respect. I have to be close and make a distance at the same time. I must be a model and motivate them to do the same.
It's not easy to apply the servanthood leadership theory. Even situational approach doesn't help much. I almost give up and thinking of searching a new job. Despite of being a manager has a good fee, I miss the simplicity of being an ordinary employee with a big salary, wkwkwk... (oh my #greedy!)
Sometimes loving challenges doesn't always loving complexity.
Definitely, with bigger salary, comes bigger responsibility.
So, let's see.. Hopefully I can be whatever good that all of us wish I am to be.
Amen.
