Have a go




Hahaha…Stewart sounded Celtic the other day, in front of me somemore…so, thus lately…Celtic’s pace at work have quicken a little.

I am currently doing the Category Fixers…my assumption was…since Celtic is already with The Japanese for the past 1 year…I assume that Celtic have already fix up all of the categories in D31…and I am here just to assist Celtic in strategizing the business. Mana tahu, this Celtic also didn’t do much. Only do the Disposable Category & Celtic's favorite - storage boxes & plastic drawers. So when Stewart start to question Celtic about it…Celtic’s reason or excuse was…Celtic delegate it to the buyers…and trust them that they will get the job done. Yes, trusting the buyers is very crucial, allowing them the freedom and trusting that they will get it done & get it right is also important…but Celtic is also the Division Manager here…you got to lead the buyers, you have to teach them, you have to coach them, you have to supervise them…Celtic is good at the buyer level…but to move a level up, I think it is going to be difficult for Celtic. Celtic have lots to learn. Delegating yes...but the work accuracy must be there as well...not only to biar there only. I think Celtic only wants to do; driving the business part only but very malas to do the nitty gritty part already. If Stewart have not sounded Celtic, I think Celtic would also just let it be.

Just look at the Cloth Upkeep Category Review - Celtic can get it done within 1 week. Why didn't Celtic do it when Celtic first arrive? Why only initiate now? Afraid that the Buyers don't agree with the plan? You are the Division Manager, you have to ensure that everyone toes the line. Since when Celtic becomes so slow and complacent?

Celtic is arrogant too and I am afraid that Celtic is already developing a destructive behavior. And this behavior stems from pride. When we are proud, we become arrogant. Arrogance blurs our sense of reality and we go into denial mode. When we see ourselves as better than others, we fail to seek ways to improve.
