Sore-sore, balik dari Shalat Ashar, saya melihat dua orang tamu kantor dari luar ngeliatin meja saya, lalu tersenyum memandangi saya. Saya kira ada apa. Ternyata dia ngeliatin gambar peninggalan orang lain yang tertempel salah satu sisi meja saya.
Saya memberi senyuman balik dan komentar, “Yeah. I always give my 100%. Do you?”.
Do you?
Every single people is unique, especially in the way he or she respond for a something. Everybody has a different style in manage and solve problems.
One example is what happened in my office between me and my friend. We faced a same problem. We both had an application that need to be prepared in purpose of integration with other systems. Both applications had its master data synchronized from one source. So we didn’t have to prepare it. Problem arose when the source data is not ready yet and we need to test the application.
What I did to solve that problem? I got deal with the problem by asked things that I did not know with the developer and tried to solve the problem by myself. I prepared my test with only small amount of data, to show at least this system work. After the test, my user asked me for using huge amount of data. I accepted it, because I need to convince them that the system work. So I try to inserted the data into my application’s database and tried to make everything works fine. I didn’t ask many people to help me. Because I think in this case, put a lot of communication is not more effective than doing it by myself. By doing that, I put many risks like having many integrity problem. I also spend many time for doing a lot of technical things, which actually not really sure it’s in on my job description.
