JDT meets South China

Defending Champions, JDT will be meeting South China from Hong Kong. It will be 2nd time the are meeting at the same stage.

This year, there's also change in the fixture, where east asian team would only meet the middle east team in final (unlike in semifinals in previous year). This means, JDT stands a good chance to qualify for finals.

Should they beat South China, the will meet either their group-mates Bengaluru or Selangor's group-mate, Tampines (whom has new coach).

Let's if JDT can defend their title. Nevertheless, it would be a dream come true if JDT can play in AFC Champions League.

My curse goes for you

Leadership Accountability

I took this excerpt from Toastmasters International website. These tips, which are based on The Leadership Challenge by James Kouzes

The 6 A’s of Leadership Accountability

The quickest path to restoring credibility and winning back others’ trust is to follow the 6 A’s of Leadership Accountability: Accept, Admit, Apologize, Act, Amend, and Attend:

#1: Accept. The most important step is to accept that you’ve made a mistake – no easy task for many leaders. Swallow hard and accept personal responsibility for your actions, says expert James Kouzes, and if it’s an organizational mistake, step up for that error as well.

#2: Admit. It’s important to make public acknowledgement of your mistake, Kouzes says, so others know you’re serious about taking ownership of your actions.

#3: Apologize. Apologizing communicates to others that you’re concerned about the effect your actions have had on them.

#4: Act. Follow an apology with rapid action to address any consequences of a mistake. A quick response lets others know you’re doing more than giving lip service to a problem.

#5: Amend. Making amends is an overlooked part of the credibility restoration process. People expect some form of reparation for a problem that’s been created.

#6: Attend. To be aware of how your actions are helping restore lost credibility, pay close attention to the reactions of your employees – or in the case of Toastmasters club leaders, the reactions of your club members.

It's sad thing, my former club excos didn't bother to follow this and they didn't move any further, and I'm moving forward...

Finally LCW made it

Datuk lee Chong Wei regained his world number 1 position yesterday by virtue of qualifying for the finals for Indonesian Open.

To add the icing, he also captured Indonesian open title by beating Jan Orgensen in rubber sets.

He was world number 1 till Sept 2014 before tested positive where he dropped below 150 in ranking. But he came up consistently. A good motivation for him before the Rio Olympics.

The matter is, till when he will sustain it. Being a player above 30s, very rare players would reach world number 1 status. Even Nicol David is finding it tough and dropped her ranking, Especially with emergence of younger players.
