Recently I had a discussion with my brother-in-law, also happened to be my brother in Christ too.
He said something that got me thinking...
"When the world's need match with your passion/ strength/ gift/ talent, therewith lies your vocation"
It has been great that Mr Chin, our principal has started since last year to get all teachers and staff to put in their personal mission statement within the work review. It really forced us to think deeply about whether this is our vocation, something we enjoy doing, something we believe in. Sometimes, it may also caused us to rethink our vocation and meaning in life.
As part of the school management team, we should also strive to deploy our supervisees to their strong areas so that they will enjoy what they are doing and will find the jobs meaningful for themselves. Granted there will be constraints, but we must endeavor to put officers in the area of strengths.
