The Beauty Of Team
Seems like more and more people are investing in land nowadays. Not in Singapore, of course. Hardly any left. Just properties. So if you wanna invest in land, you gotta head somewhere else like UK.
This morning I was supposed to visit Bedok-Tampines Bethesda Church to observe their worship rehearsal under my Worship Pastor's recommendation. Unfortunately, 2 out of the 3 Choir Conductors were not available, we decided to arrange another Saturday to go down instead. And since I was already on my way to my car when I received the change of plan, I decided to head to my sister's instead. We were supposed to meet at Ritz Carlton at 12.30pm to sign the papers for our joint venture. So now, I'm just blogging away while I wait for them to get ready.
Chinese Orchestra concert was a blast, all 2 nights. Last night's was a client-servicing event which saw quite a few industry partners attending. Principal (PCEO) and all the senior management staff were there to welcome the guests as per usual protocol. There was even dinner reception for all who came last night, including all the alumni who accepted our invitation.
Our whole department was robed in to put the show together, from stage and foyer decorations to PR, to reception. Everything 'bao-ka-liao'. Yours truly was the Stage I/C of all the stage crew including the student Stage Managers. It was quite a satisfying job except that I don't get to watch the show as a member of the audience, which was apparently quite spectacular with all the special features. But I did get to take picture with a performer backstage before his face-changing item. Super impressive, man. And he's only a graduating year 3 student. I watched a bit of it from stage right and the LCD TV backstage over the 2 nights. Even so, it was breath-taking. It would have been a greater treat to the audience with all the enhanced audio effect. Most of the solo instrumentalists were alumni members of Chinese Orchestra from different batches. I believe all of them are currently professional musicians.
Anyway, I'm just glad that all the hardwork paid off and the shows on both nights were successful. Events management is indeed hardwork. But the sense of satisfaction after a successful one can be tremendous. As part of the team, every single person count and everyone has to possess the leadership qualities of proactiveness and team-mindedness. Each person know their position and directions are clear. Interpersonal relationships are important but bad ones will not compromise the individual's professionalism in getting one's own job area WELL done, and in the best interest of other team members - all for the sake of a successful event. I think that's the beauty of events management. But most importantly, the beauty of TEAM.
