Try humour to resolve conflicts



Mr Geoff Magee, Chief Executive Officer, The Accord Metropolitan

One teacher I remember, and why: My father…he taught me some excellent values in life. His motto was “believe in yourself first.”

One most valuable work lesson, thus far: Determination…till you succeed.

One thing I look for the most in a new recruit: Attitude.

One thought from a book that I am currently reading: Nothing specific…not had much time recently to read a book.

One tip for time management: Time stops for no one.

One key thing in my fitness routine: Even if you sleep six hours …sleep well.

One signal that tells me there is a problem: The art of ‘intuition’ is something we learn to master.

One technique for handling anger: You can’t...either you have it or you don’t.

One essential ingredient in my investment portfolio: Commonsense.

One good thing about the new generation: Very Very Street Savvy. Smart .

One worrying thing about the young: They are burning out too fast.

One thing that clinches a deal: Good homework.

One definition of values: It starts early in life, evaluated in mid-life, and hopefully never dies with us.

One way that I use for resolving conflicts: Humour…it works ..sometimes slowly of course.

One favourite activity when travelling: Making new friends.

One indicator of performance: Very simple, you always “SEE” it.

One macroeconomic variable I keenly watch: Inflation.

One dream I’d like to chase, later in life: If I wait to chase dreams later they will never come true! I’ve chased them from the age of five…Many have come true.

One good way to foster innovation: Create an environment for people to think for themselves.

One clue that tells me I’m the leader: When I see people around me…and also some beside me.
