The international conference was a huge success. In fact, I am a totally different person when I came back to the office. I learned so much from it and I can't wait to apply my new knowledge in collaboration of the team. The first activity my father did was convene the head of departments and some important key players in the internal affairs office. He introduced plans and innovations to improve the system of the office. As agreed days ago, we divided the topics of the conference and re-echo salient features that were applicable and immediate in nature.
When my time came, I delivered the topics to the context of the business and emphasize its relevance. Most people agreed without a doubt though there were questions for clarification but generally, I gained their trust and confidence and believed that indeed, change must be done and that change is coming very soon.
I introduce that in this fast pacing business world, interlocking of benefits at both ends' advantage must be taken into consideration as the top priority in sealing contracts. Then I introduced the different couriers that the company is in contract with the company. Briefly, I scanned all these and took them to a state of mind where those that are about to end must be reviewed thoroughly. I also had them consider to rank the couriers from the strongest to the weakest. The weakest three shall not be considered anymore as new couriers particularly the top three that had submitted proposal will be given the opportunity to sign contract with the company. Everybody was in agreement, and I was hoping that R's will land at the bottom three. The meeting adjourned with the deadline of the ranking and the schedule of meeting the new comer couriers for contract signing. With clear conscience, I did not do anything to manipulate R's standing, though I did an advance research on its services given to the company, I know from my heart that I did not do anything to make them fall. It's just that, they never upgrade to match the competition in the business market. They had been stagnant for the last ten years.
In the office, my father maintains an employer-employee relationship at all times, even with me. We shook our hands, congratulated me for the successful meeting, bid our goodbyes and went separately to our respective offices. It was a common scenario in the office and I got used to it because I also felt it necessary not to mix business with family relationship. But this time, I just could not contain my feeling of gratefulness, after a few minutes sitting in my swivel chair, I went to my father's office and slowly knocked at his door. I heard him say "come in" so I pushed the door open and ran to his lap like I used to do everytime I visit his office when I was still young. I hugged him tightly and kissed his forehead as I said my heartfelt thank you. With all the dramas, I held his hand and said "Pa, thank you for making me a beautiful princess and for being a handsome father to this beautiful princess" then we both laugh as we tickled each other, just like before. It was my most beautiful day at work and I will forever adore my father for being such a good leader and father to me.
