Overview of my current Job
A typical workday for me, involves reviewing all my planned meeting for the day as per yesterday's status. Some meetings or engagements are rescheduled , postponed or cancelled very late, and I have to know that in the morning. I have to engage the directorate secretary about any new meetings that I might not be aware of. I have learnt a lot from subordinates, peers, and even top management, that one cannot operate on a silo without other colleagues. Success is measured by the number of people you empower through your assistance. The challenging aspects about my work is management of expectation, more especially from key stakeholders. The demand that normally overtakes and disregard professional opinion, carefully considered to the detriment of the task at hand.
Pros: Great prospects for learning something new and chances of being recognized by other organisations.
Cons: The long working hours which will not be remunerated

Creative and a exellant problem solver
I normally have an early start around between 6:30 am and 7:30 am depending on what needs to be done. I normally start early if I need to do a lot of mental work. I like to do those early in the morning so that I can get feedback as quick as possible and to gage my thinking with knowledgeable people. I do spend sufficient amount of time in discussion with colleagues to test ideas and learn. There is always an element of research in my work during the day whether it is to find the latest trends or to learn more about a subject or an idea. What enjoy the most is this process of discovery and application of initiatives. The most challenging aspects of my job is to ensure buy in and change management which almost always seem to lack in IT projects.
Pros: Oppertunnti to make a difference and freedom for experimentation
Cons: Resistance to change
