I was taken aback on Monday when my assistant was presented with an award. Why wasn't I consulted? I mean only I will know what she can deliver and what she can't. I told myself before that I will nominate her for the award when she is ready but definitely not now. I am still "rescuing" her for things that she can't do. Must do what Joshie says "DO NOT switch to rescue mode just because your staff can't do it." but he contridicts himself lately by saying "we go into rescue mode for the good of the project". Ehhh... so what's what?
Anyway, it is not that I am petty for her receiving the award. It can be an encouragement. But I think I should be asked for feedback since she reports to me.
The guy who nominates her pulls me aside yesterday and apologise to me for what he had done. Gave a reason why she is nominate this time. I told him that I was not happy for what he had done but it is over and I am alright now. But I also told him that she is definitely not ready for one now. "Oh" is all what he says.
Respect is all I asked for. Don't pass me a responsiblity and yet overrides the authority.
