Today for the first time I sat in a meeting with other top guys from the IS management group. I had been a little apprehensive in the beginning in case I didn't portray the confidence ... basically I just wasn't sure how to behave. The leap that I took to reach this position had not been without any hurdle. There were a lot of questions thrown at my boss as to why me - too young, no experience. He probably had some tough moments having to answer them, but I respect him for standing by me and persisted on taking me on board.
The meeting turned out fine. They were just normal guys. Not the kind that I'd had imagined. I was a semi formal meeting that takes place at the end of every month. It's when the sector gets updates from the businesses of things that have taken place in the month, any issues that they might face, and also a time when businesses share ideas and information. It's pretty much talk, talk and talk, present some PowerPoint slides, may be argue here and there a bit for one whole day. Not to forget the lunch break in the middle. Most of the things discussed were very alien to me. I spent most of the time listened and tried to make sense what they were all about. I'll find out about them later from my boss.
Hmmm ... is all that these people do? Meetings, meetings, meetings?
