Hello dear blog,
Sorry to have neglected you for so long ... it's just that I had promised myself to wait I turned the situation into something positive .... as you can see, it took some time but I did it. I had to work very hard this summer to fight the wave of demotivation that has swept my team over. I had a lot of dark days, sometimes I even thought to the possibility of not completing the countdown that is on your home page. And yet I'm still here, although my hands are dipped deep into recruitment! I was smart in the way that I used my resources, my family, my boyfriend, my friends, the BoA chair, an HR consultant, the MC and other LCPs to get out. You might tell me that's a lot of people. Certainly, but that's what it took me. Here's what I learned:
- I learned that in times of crisis, meeting everyone individually in a relaxed environment can be one of the best things to do.
- I learned that I can NEVER please everyone all the time.
- I discovered that I had an incredible ability to pull up my sleeves
- I learned that i have a lot of resources
- I realized that people who understand me best are other LCPs (wink wink, to you successor !)
- Unfortunately I had to learn that management and friendship = friction sometimes
- I confirmed that I would do a lot of things for my team!
- I realized that NPM is the best lifeline in THE WORLD.
I am leaving for our September EB retreat tomorrow. We'll spend the weekend in the woods in a cabin without electricity where I hope the girls will start being supportive of each other a bit more. I am also in deep reflection about what I'll do next year: LCP a second time or a term on the MC? That is the question ...
To those who read me: I'm waiting impatiently for your words of wisdom that might help me take that decision ...
Talk to you soon!
PS I can tell you today that I feel like I have been climbing for three months but that I finally reached a peak.
