Taking Care of My Team: Action Plans

-

 "In preparing for a battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable." - Dwight Eisenhower

This line of thought has become my guiding principle, especially in this time of the pandemic.  Planning will always be useful in taking care of my team. 

As a community leader, there is a constant need to support the well-being of our people. Today, I will share with you two of my action plans that will help improve the Department of Education (DepEd) employees' productivity.  How can I do that?  Well, allow me to share with you my intended plans after this training on virtual leadership.

1) Clearly Communicate Expectations. At DepEd, planned and deliberate use of communication is necessary to produce enthusiasm and open the support of employees. There is a strong need to establish personnel expectations and hold colleagues accountable for their work promises. 

2) Help Apply New Knowledge. DepEd leaders must apply techno-dexterity skills and provide coaching and mentoring opportunities and apply technical skills to assist staff in accomplishing projects at hand. By this, the support you will get from your colleagues will grow astronomically and will also ensure the development of others. 

There are other items that I can discuss, but the above-mentioned plans will be a good start.

Surpassed the 2100 Rating at lichess.org

 Dear Friends, After series of attempts to breach the 2100 ranking at lichess , I finally got what I wanted this morning.  I have been streaming my games every now and then to surpass, this seemingly, insurmountable task in the past only to fail. I was trying to involve the audience to cheer me up during the games but it didn't help. I got some stars but not my solid performance.  I always blame the poor internet connection for not achieving success and this time I got it and I was so happy. Though I could say, I came very close to achieving this dream of mine in many times that I played, this time I felt this inner satisfaction and I could say that nothing is impossible. My constant practice with my teammates at the UNASAF group consisting of top players from the UAAP, NCAA, and carefully selected friends proved to be essential in my victories.   Here I am now savoring this moment.  Cheers to all chess players!

Helping Cats in Need

 I am not really a cat person, but yesterday was different.   Amidst the strong wind and heavy rain caused by Typhoon Rolly , I found a mother cat carrying a little kitten using her mouth (back and forth through the hallway near our condo unit) in Binondo, Manila.  She seemed to be in panic mode looking for a safe place due to the scary weather condition. My attention was not really directed to them as I was preparing for a big chess tournament by the National Chess Federation of the Philippines which was a Rapid Open Tournament via Tornelo .    However, as the wind continued to blow the mighty cat with a kitten repeatedly appeared in front of my door too.  I saw them through the screen and I felt so disturbed.  I hastily opened the door and let them in. BTW, my family was feeding two other bigger kittens (from the same mother) outside the Cluster 3 building so perhaps it was the familiarity that kept us connected.   But as I wipe the m...

I Will Persist Until I Succeed (by Og Mandino)

-
I was not delivered unto this World in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner. I will be likened to the rain drop which washes away the mountain, the ant who devours a tiger, the star which brightens the earth, the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking. I will persist until I succeed. I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the questio...
