My name is Yassir LAHLOU. I am a localization manager located in Morocco. I don't have a direct team to manage by I need to well coordinate indirect teams in order to achive our target. In other words, my mission, is to strenght the supplier panel. To do so, I need to convince Procurement teams, quality, Industrialization/engineering and supply chain.

Believe me, it's not an easy task to manage indirectly a team

No direct reports as of yet, but coordinator role on stakeholders

Expectations: learn how to:

- Remain in management, not get into operational

- Be a manager not a friend, but remain approachable when rising from peer ranks

- Balance between my high expectations and lower work standard when incentivisation is not within my control

Free time: nice family time

My expectations are on improve communication within the team, including conflict management. Delegation and people care

No direct reports right now.

Expectations: To gain knowledge and tools required to progress to a role where i will be managing a team of support engineers in the near future when the contracts have been awarded.

This training is a big part of my career development.

The rocket of goals exercise allows to understand how to trasfer the ultimate goal into activities and everyday tasks. It also made me think about the importance of correct goals definition.

Onmiscience and Omnipresence are areas that i believed to be positive but may actually have a negative impact on good management.

Keep, Improve, Start, Stop - important when working on good relationships and sharing of information.

Specific, Measurable, Agreed, Realistic, Timed - important prompts for objective setting

2/3 why's to aid team motivation.

How my management style looks and the areas i need to improve, persuasive and negotiative.

Important to delegate and how to delegate.

Motivation is important especially understanding how people are motivated and using this to improve their productivity.

Motivation: Recognition, Responsibility, Nature of work, career development.

• the 4 toltec agreements - that really goes along my life psychology and i think allign well with the stoic approach

• the management styles and the classification of the coworkers - to apply the proper style to the situation

• motivation - the understading people part. I will really take benefit of the method to understand individual's stake, sources of motivation and way of working

• the delegation exercise - even if the topic of exercise was not in line with my everyday job, I think I learned a lot from it and will use it in future for my delegation tasks.

- Lower standards of expectation from myself for myself and then focus on what to expect from others - this will lead to less stress, less micro management, less pressure. Almost everything can be fixed/corrected and a solution can always be found one way or another
