What do you think are the top<br />
three skills or personality traits<br />
that you can attribute to your<br />
success today?<br />
I think my personality traits point<br />
largely to the fact that I enjoy<br />
working with people. I managed<br />
and led teams of varying sizes in<br />
my prior experiences. I would like<br />
to think all of that have helped me<br />
become a more effective people<br />
manager.<br />
Besides that, I think my fondness<br />
for simplicity and experience in<br />
setting up and running operations<br />
help. I am able to break down<br />
complex issues and see the<br />
simple solutions. I am also not<br />
afraid to take on new challenges. I<br />
believe these have been crucial<br />
qualities in my career progression<br />
so far.<br />
You obviously travel a lot in your<br />
current role. How do you adjust to<br />
that, having come from a local<br />
country role in your previous<br />
employment?<br />
Well, I’ve learnt… for example, I<br />
basically changed my traveling<br />
wardrobe to ensure that clothes I<br />
pack along for my trips do not<br />
require ironing. Who has the time<br />
to iron on business trips!?<br />
I also have two set of toiletries,<br />
cosmetics and other daily<br />
essentials so that one of the sets is<br />
always in my suitcase. My friends<br />
and family members have also<br />
been really supportive in making<br />
time to catch up with me when I’m<br />
in town.<br />
