Last Friday until Sunday, I was working at a roadshow. I was assigned as a supervisor and my job was to manage the promoters and count sales. However, i didn't carry out my job well. Here, I have figured out something that i did not well and the ways of doing it better next time.
Firstly, I was not able to calculate the stocks accurately.
I had taken too many time to count the stocks but at the end i miscalculated it. Thus, i asked the promoters to jot down their daily sales so that I don't have to calculate the stock in order to check out the sales. However, this way might not be accurate as the promoters might miss out some sales. But, it did save me some times as I don't need to calculate the stocks. At the end, I just estimated the sales only.
I am confident with my capability all along but this time I can't do such a simple job efficiently. This lesson had put a dent into my ego. But, anyway, I will learn from the past and keep moving forward. Thus, I have figured out that what should I do next time if i am asked to calculate the stocks again. Firstly, i should ask the promoters to jot down their sales on the first and second day. Although the figures might not be accurate, but it has not much difference from the actual sales. Furthermore, I can get the scan sales on the next day. besides, it can save my time from calculating stock as the stocks would be a lot for the first day because it has not been sold. Then, on the last day, i can just calculate the opening stock and ending stock i will get to know the daily sales accurately. For the sales update at 3pm and 7pm, i just have to get the sales from the promoters only because it is not that important.
second, dealing with people.
I didn't manage to interact with the promoters well. I found that dealing with people is not an easy task and it is used to be my weakness as I am kind of individualism. Besides, i think that I was too dependent in making decision. Sometimes I don't have my own views. Haiz. I always criticize others that they have no own views and thoughts, but now I be one of them. what a great irony. I think it is because I think that I was just a promoter and didn't have that power or authority to give command. Therefore, I have no confidence with my decision and become dependent. I am most likely a good worker rather a good leader. It really takes time to learn how to be a good leader.
I take all this as a part of my learning process and I am learning all the time. Although it was passed but I would not forget it. Instead, I will learn form it and try to make it better next time. With every mistake I have made, I will learn from it. I think that this should be the adequate attitude of doing things.
