Hiring: What winners are made of

Can't remember how long did i take to complete this whole book. On and off, finally completed this month.

Generally, the content is resourceful and enlightening. Even though you are not in managerial position, you can benefit from the perspective and ideas given. Based on ex-GE CEO experience, it lists out the tips or strategies to navigate an organization to a winning team. Of course, these are just advices, not a comprehensive bible.

When comes to hiring, what do you think the hirers are looking for? There will be "acid tests": integrity, intelligence and maturity. Next they will assess the framework of 4E and 1P, which are having a positive energy, the ability to energize others, the edge (the courage to make tough decisions), execute (ability to get the job done) and finally passion.

Hiring for senior level, look for authenticity, foresight, the willingness to draw on others for advice, and resilience.

Day 2: A visit to some of The Tokyo Toilet project

On the second day of my trip, I decided to visit some of the public toilets under The Tokyo Toilet project. The idea was inspired by the film  Perfect Days . Since the public toilets under this project are scattered around western side of Tokyo, I visited a few in Shibuya area, which are quite close to each other. One notable location is Yoyogi Park.  One of the highlights of these designer toilets is the transparent toilet. Its transparent glass walls will turn opaque when the door is locked. This feature is based on the electrochromic effect. However, this feature is unavailable during late autumn and winter, which coincided my visit. The key takeaway from this visit: an eye opening experience about toilet culture and social inclusivity.

Trip 01-06: Day 8-9 (The end)

Day 8-9 (13-14 May) We proceed to Thailand in the morning. The immigration process was the easiest. We crossed the river by boat and reached Chiang Khong (the border town of Thailand). Then a mini van to Chiang Mai. Arrived in Chiang Mai about 4pm. Looked for a cheap room and then had an excursion around the town. The next day we will depart and back to M'sia. It has been a pleasant trip for the whole week. Laos is a beautiful and peaceful country with abundant of unspoiled forest and mountains. Now we have to get back to our real life. End of the trip.
