Working with people from all levels, problem solving and unity. Development of a new culture.

My greatest ability is people management, recruitment, onboarding etc . I was able to establish a new Company culture which resulted in the employees resigning from the unions, and ring-fenced company from the outside world and all worked together as one team in the best interest of the Company and therefore the total compliment together. I enjoy an outstanding rapport with all co-workers and seen as a friend and father figure. Replaced the Shop Steward meetings with my own form of collective communication which involved all. Challenged to encourage staff and Management to change their attitude of a Them and Us to a we together. Loved doing it and it is my legacy.

Pros: I am a fit active, healthy person who has years to impart my knowledge to the next generation.
Cons: I work a 12 hour day

Excellent learning curve

I usually started my work at 7:30 am collaboratively plan my day, make sure that the most urgent work gets done first.l had a good relationship with you co-workers,l felt contented and motivated when working at the office and eventually led to improved my performance and increased productivity. However, building a healthy relationship with my co-workers was not easy as it sounds.As a team often consists of people with different and sometimes even conflicting characters,l have to work on finding the right way to handle and communicate with them.l have learned to developed skills and capabilities.Working in an environment of strict deadlines taught me how to be self disciplined.l enjoyed most because my job had a wide variety of apportunities.The most challenging aspect l dealt with special cases from the office of the CEO .l had to resolved before close of business.
