(1)First meeting with meeting with Dr.Assem

My dear Colleagues;
As a coordinator of Jeddah Talent Pool program 2013 ,I heartily thank you for your attendance and we all have to thank our role model Dr.Assem Farid for his tremendous support in launching of this talent program.Further,I would like to share with you the main points that we covered in the last meeting .Practically , These coverage will be more beneficial for people who missed this meeting.
Overview:
The meeting started at 1:30 pm in 15th Sep and lasted for about 75 minutes .the presenter,  Dr.Assem , covered a general principles of leadership and how each employee can prepare himself for the next step.
The main question at the beginning was (When the medical rep. can be promoted?)And the answer is that he needs to fulfill certain requirements as following:
- He has to achieve a high performance in his main job description.
-In assessment process, the supervisor feedback is highly weighted so being a key element in your team is a must.
-The promoted medical rep. is a one who has already taken many of the main responsibilities of the supervisor and after a short period of training, he can focus on improving his managerial skills. For example: you have to inspire your team , share the vision of the company and help your team to achieve its objectives.
-Do not be afraid to pretend during assessment, when you pretend to have some skills that you actually do not have, you realize that you lack these skills and later on you can try to acquire these skills.
-The most difficult part about job of the supervisor is that his objectives cannot be obtained without the efforts of his team (and this is also the most interesting about it).
-Delegation question (Is it right to accept every delegated task?)
The answer: Do not accept any task as it is, you have first to inquire about the nature of the task for example; the time limit, the required facilities and the expected outcome.
-The values   : While you have to be flexible in some issues, you have to set red lines for some behaviors that you cannot accept under any circumstances.
-Dr.Ahmed Salah input: Accountability is the highest degree of responsibility as you have to realize that you are 100% responsible for what happened to you.
-Dr.Mohamed Mohsen input: self development is never-ending process ,when want to see your face , you look at a mirror rather than a wall . the same concept applies to your knowledge so try to listen to your friends and your managers to improve your weakness areas.
-Dr.Sherif Abd monem input: each medical representative has to be communicated with his weakness area so he can improve them.
-Tricky question from Dr.Hany Goda as following (should I answer the panel what they want to hear or I should answer what I am convinced about?)
Dr.Assem answer: It is ok to satisfy the panel but for the majority of cases, there is no absolute right or wrong answer .as long as you have a strong justification for your answer and a good rationale for your decision, you can answer the panel with your opinion.
Finally, we agreed that these meetings are not considered only as a preparation for the assessment but also as a tool for acquiring managerial skills for our whole life.

PLEASE ,BE ACTIVE AND POST YOUR COMMENT BELOW OR EVEN WRITE I LIKE THIS MEETING OR IT IS A WASTE OF TIME.
