Things that I'm not prepared for
After 1 week in Auckland, I rushed back to Sydney to assist the staff here. His mood is quite stable now.
The pressure that he's feeling is on me too, plus pressure from a few more projects that's very very hard.
When I'm down, I used to be able to talk to my colleagues or my boss. Now I can't share my frustration with my staff as it will de-motivate them more. I guess the easiest way to convince people to work hard is to work hard together, if not harder.
We've always have this feeling that bosses are hiding something from us, now I know why. Most of the time is to test water (trying to get hints by giving hints), avoid panic situation and to find the best time to spill the beans.
Eg. There's going to be a restructuring and you have to arrange the human resource accordingly. So you go and test water during a casual conversation. Do you like working on spreadsheet? Do you like Indonesia? The truth is I have to transfer you to Indon to prepare pricing strategy under a new team.
2009Q2/2009H1 is going to end soon and my target/KPI completion is just 4%. I've already prepared myself to write lengthy reports and to get screwed all ways.
Wish me luck.

You need to learn to be a supervisor. Cushion from both side, your superior and subordinate.
Now you have subordinate, you need to play some pull and push game with them
