WHAT THE LEADER OWES [20 Jul 2009|10:53pm] ambarvalia [ music | The Who - Overture - It's A Boy ] Peter Drucker interviewing Max de Pree, in Drucker's "Managing A Non-Profit Organization" (2006): "[T]he leader starts out with the realization that he and the organization owe; they owe the customers, the clients, the constituency, whether they are parishioners, or patients, or students. They owe the followers, whether that's faculty, or employees, or volunteers. And what they owe is really to enable people to realize their potential, to realize their purpose in serving the organization." post comment

But don't start crying yet, i'll be back(hopefully). The past nine months have been a great experience for me, and it has been a joy working with every single one of you. I've also made a few genuine friends along the way, and these people need not be surprised to get a call from my number at night and hear nothing but heavy breathing on the other end of the line. This is not a break up, so let's remain friends!

I'd once decided that I wanted to start out at Ogilvy. and on the day i left, still not converted to full-time, i realised that i'd done just that. Now it's time to start, for real. 5 comments|post comment

Emm Jay [10 Jul 2009|10:37pm] khementi My tribute to AAAOW! SHAMON! CHOOK! For many years of my life, what I heard when I heard this song was something like this: As he climbed onto the window, merril bainbridge, a pimento, a walk in apartment, he got flush faced, on the carpet, he went up to the neigh pole, yngwie malmsteen, was a navel then he shellacked to the bed room, he was struck down, like an egg doom, eddie are you wonky? are you wonky? are you wonky eddie? eddie are you wonky? will you tell us, that you're wonky? like the sound of a igloo, and he stuck you, like a shindo eddie! he jiggled your apartment, he got flush faced, on the carpet, then he shellacked to the bed room, he was struck down, like an egg doom, eddie! you've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth toiletbowl. then he came to the 'um' place, it was sunday, but a black day, got a nervous insurrection, counting heartbeats, intimidation, eddie are you wonky? are you wonky? are you wonky eddie? eddie are you wonky? will you tell us, that you're wonky?

COURAGE [08 Jul 2009|01:53am] ambarvalia Yesterday, Tarsiyem - an Indonesian shelter resident whom we are training in office skills and basic accountancy - asked me for permission to call her MOM officer to ask for an update on her case. This is a landmark event and I hope a sign that the women in our shelter are learning to stand up for their rights. I hope that more women in our shelter will gather the courage and determination to pick up the phone and make a phone call like this. Perhaps one day HOME will be filled with former shelter residents turned volunteers, helping other foreign domestic workers in distress. post comment
