Breakthrough to Excellence 2016 Workshop

Dear readers,

The Group MD gathered some managers and senior management team for a workshop facilitated by himself on 15th Dec 2015. It was held at the Palm Garden Hotel, Putrajaya. A total of 10 of us attended this workshop with the aim of preparing us for 2016.

The workshop comprises of knowledge sharing, discussion, activities and also some brain-storming session of what we want to achieve next year. Mr Mikel Yaw shared with us on the topics of leadership, communication, EQ, E-colors (Personality Diversity Indicator), team alignment, SWOT analysis and goal setting.

At the end of the workshop, the team came out with some critical issues to be addressed in 2016, and it also includes L&D initiatives for the employees. Both the Group and Deputy MD hoped to iron-out some of the challenges we faced, be it at the HQ or the branches, and hope to sustain the Company growth amidst the turmoil surrounding the world economy and Asean countries.

Overall the workshop went very well and we all had a great time opening up our mind and gaining some insights from the Group MD and learning from everyone. The Group MD reminded everyone about the core values of the Company which is ISTARS, and emphasize on the importance of teamwork, respect for each other and also keeping things simple. All of us in the Company must be innovative and adaptable to changes, and must be sincere in our work.

The Group MD wants such workshop to take place at least half yearly so that all of us can discuss and resolve some issues together as a team.

Here are some takes from the workshop.
