Game in the Brain

I’ve tried to make it weekly sprints but its really no use.

Explaining my Limits

I’ve explained I have no budget and pretty much have only my diplomacy and Problem solving as my main Control or ability to Influence a situation. I’m basically the “signing” director for the leaves and planner. I’m not an Authority by the Traditional filipino concept of the term. My ability to direct people is basically apply the same “Help others out” activity I do for almost everyone and anyone.

Pretty much I make sure people are able to be effective and I get what I can out of the way.

By Planning, I pretty much make a bunch of Task lists and write all the details that need to happen. And because I can write it like some chunked muscle memory – i get pretty good at predicting the 20/80 pareto of Challenges, Minimum-Viable Products, and Schelling points.

Some of the Time I use the – Son of the Boss, to deflect a lot of the BAD HABITS and faults of the company. When people PASS OFF WORK to someone who is not the PROCESS OWNER, thats when I get in and use the FILIPINO traditional authority (which requires people to spend time with me to answer my questions) by simply asking a bunch of questions WHY things are so. Of course i only needed to do this a couple of times and most of the time People DEFLECT and Avoid me lolz to preventing my team to get key things done.

You get that HUGE Question that – our team is set out to Automate the Job, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU AVOIDING US? (the company has no history of removing people when their job has been taken care of, they are reallocated to more pain points. And my CTS we set up is there to make it  more empowering)

Under me are the following Departments.

1. IT of all 4 branches: Cabuyao, Makati, Calbayog, and Eastwood (but they are pretty much the highest automony).
2. Production Design. It has a more arcane name because the HR director is my senior and she wanted to Name it, I’m like “OK what ever” (we have General Industry Wide Convention Defying names and TERMS but I have to relent to that. I can cite scripture, but no gives a shit and that ability annoys people who would rather rely on Memory – and their Personal Image of themselves than something like a More Agnostic Stance on the world and continuous tides of new information). I’m trying to Standardize and measure something VERY Close to my 3d Design Background. This is one of the MOST mutinous departments despite its loyal manager. I can handle it through the IT.  
3. IMS team, which is comprised with the Process trainer (Who is gearing up to be the Makati QA) and the QA of the Plant. We pretty much are the DEFACTO training wheels of the company for MANAGEMENT skills. 
4. Maintenance. While defering under the Plan manager, and I’ve given up some power over it. I’m there to make sure they keep good documentaiton and use basic GTD methodology. 
5. The PLANT.  Again I’m more of a Project manager type head, juggling improvements, and letting the Plant Manager run it. You would be surprised by the lack understanding why I let the plant manager run things instead of Hijacking his authority and expertise. My boss tries to make me “bring to heel” the plant manager – but yeah can pretty much guess what would happen If their lack of understanding of the challenges of the PLANT dictated how the Plant should run.
