New company, New Challenges

I have completed my first week at work in the new office and I must say, 24 hours definately not enough. Out of the 3 CEOs I have in my career, this one is outstanding compare to the other 2. Maybe this is the new era CEO. He's brilliant in IT/technical knowledge and executions, brilliant in business and finance as well. He's very hands-on. I always hear that CEOs plan and organise, monitor and so on. But my CEO does all that and more. He gets his hands dirty and I've seen him not able to do anything yet. Even set up email accounts for his staff he's doing it himself. Like i said, he's the new era CEO. In fact, I noticed that more and more of this type of CEOs. I knew 2 who are software developers and runs their own company. Their team or staff are relatively small, less than 20 and are multitasking.

Nowadays, you can't go far if you don't multi-tasking and multi-knowledge. Multi-knowledge is fast becoming a must in global and open economic. My second CEO was much slower and sometimes indecisive in his decision. But this one is very different. He's fast in decision making and seems to be good at it too. He may not be a celebrity CEO like Tony Fenandes but I strongly believe I can learn a lot from him. Let see how it goes.

Now, I having my first experience in setting up the company, literally. I'm running around looking for best price for our office furnitures, wiring, cabling, office equipments, pantry items and so on. I found out that if you go straight to furniture manufacture for office furniture quotation, you immediately get a 30-35% discount. Can you imagine how much profit an ID company make whenever you renovate an office?
