Yes, time does fly! After being elected as the president of AJS one year ago, I officially retired last in the election for next year’s AJS execs.
The time working with other five execs for the society was a great experience for me. I have to say, it wasn’t easy! None of us had any experiences of working in a society, basically we just worked out our way. Also there is a cultural barrier for me to understand other five execs who are native British, sometimes I have to think why they think it that way. It was difficult, but meanwhile I learned a lot. The biggest gain for me would be the practices for leadership. Before, my understanding of a leader is simply to lead, command and delegate works. These are necessary, indeed! But working as a execs for a university society, “to represent” is more likely to the responsibility rather than “to lead”.
OK, perhaps I shouldn’t go any further on the management thing, otherwise it will get endless. I want to thank all the execs last year, as well as the members of AJS. I think we had a really good year, at least I did. And a compliment from a Teikyo teacher last night really give us a lot of honors. He quoted the comment from the bursar of Teikyo University, we were the best AJS execs in last 13 years.
Hope next year’s execs will do a better job than us. Looking forward to their first event next term.
