Mingxi read book: "Second Machine Age"
Notes from Mingxi:
Tuesday to wrap up on effective inter-dept collaboration and communication. There was a very good example of sharing by Denghong to highlight the importance of helping everyone in the situation with a win-win if possible, and more importantly from faith perspective having an objective to ensure needs of each team are properly served through the process, and sometimes this would require sacrifice on our behalf. Then we also had discussions on how would we control the boundaries, i.e. what if our credit are all taken by others? There was a very discussion around the topic, and we had example sharing that illustrated that there are times that we just have to do the right thing and be willing to step forward with candid opinion for the best of the company, while everyone else is in the political game, even though this would make quite a few unhappy at this point. As Christians we have to remember that we are placed in our work place with a purpose to testify Christ and glorify God and to learn to grow in the Ways that God planned for us, not to please people. How to make the right move would be a combination of the senses we learned through different situations that God put us in training in every step, as well as through our prayers to know His Will at each critical time. Trust and obey sounds easy, while in reality it needs a lot of learning steps with joyful sacrifices along the way. At the end, we have to do the right thing and trust that God will lead the way to the best outcome, and even if we start with the wrong thing, as long as we put everything into His hands and listen carefully, He will lead us to the right path.
