What has been your biggest achievement in the last month?
One of the biggest achievements that I’m proud of in the last month has been identifying the strengths and areas for improvement within my team. My deputy and I have worked together effectively to produce a plan that works for our team and will help them all to become upskilled and progress within their career.
What has been the biggest challenge you have overcome in the last month?
Over the past month we have seen a lot of process changes and updates. For example, the closing of the different internal mailboxes. This was one of the most challenging experiences as I had to ensure that this was cascaded down to the team in the correct way. We were able to overcome this obstacle by giving clear and concise guidance to the team and always making ourselves available to offer further support when needed.
What are you excited for in the upcoming months?
I’m excited about recruiting new starters, training them and being able to give our existing team members more responsibility.
