Although sometimes it's difficult, it's always important to take your responsibilites for your actions. Secondly, you have to set up a democratic system of involving staff in decision. You must be willing to listen to others. Always take control of a situation and be good at problem solving without lose sight of the big picture. Finally, you have to be clear when you set the goal, and consistent on whatever you say. Furthermore, a good leader should be reliable but flexible and open to change when necessary. Don't worry to make mistakes, you learn from them. |

Considering he works for the company for only three months, I noticed he is really willing and able to be a good manager. However, he has to learn how to handle conflict and to juggle priorities. Furthermore, this module is also related to time management and setting deadlines. There is no doubt he ought to learn about that, because he is always a bit behind with meeting deadlines. On the other hand, he is pretty good at diffusing tension and always ready at listening to others empathetically. That's certainly a good point to manage a team. Regarding the training, I suggest he could go there, as soon as possible, for two or three days. Besides, Peter agree to go to that training, even on weekend, if necessary! |

I totally agree she overstepped the limit and I would like to give you excuses about that. She certainly didn't mean to offend you, it's just that she comes from Italy where there is no taboo subject.

I promise that I will tell her never drop a clanger again and to think twice before opening her mouth next time. I hope she'll finally get the message. Once again, please accept my sincere apologies for her rudeness. With best wishes. Anna |
