  🧐 Inspect what you expect. That’s what my ex boss taught us. And this has served me well over time as what I inspect is typically different from expected. Sometimes it’s not significant, but sometimes it’s very material. But inspecting takes a lot of time. So how do we decide when to inspect and when to trust and let go? Usually, I use these 3 tips to make a call : ⚡️ Impact What’s the impact or consequence if the outcome is different from expected? Will there be regulatory consequences? Will there be monetary consequences to business, customer or to our employees? ⏰ Timing Is there sufficient time to inspect? If not, how to sample to have sufficient assurance? 🪨 Reliability Who prepared the work? Is the person experienced and usually delivers a high standard of work? Is the person usually detailed and reliable? Find these tips helpful? Click on the 🔔 on my profile to follow all my posts. #work   #worktips   #career   #personaldevelopment   #jenelim

Yesterday, I chatted with a stranger when sharing a table. She was an ex JC teacher teaching English and Literature but has now been retired in the past 13 years. 🛝She shared with me how she always taught her students to make sure they have a decent command of English and Maths (logical thinking), but need not mug all the way and spend all their time studying. 🛝What’s also important is to go out there and play, learn how to get along and have a network. And I think her tips work for adults at the workplace too. In my early work years, I worked very hard but forgot to have a life. Thankfully I’ve learnt along the way to have a good balance. 🛝Don’t we all wish for a teacher like this? What other precious tips have your teachers ever given you ? #work   #student   #learning   #personaldevelopment   #jenelim
