Behave Like a Boss to Add Value

Whether you are a boss now or working for a boss, you need to behave like a boss. Otherwise, you will be bossed around and your boss may find it too expensive to keep you as an employee. The 8 ways to behave like a boss include:
  1. Take Ownership for your work. Do not blame, give excuses or deny your responsibility. Often we see people pushing blame, passing the buck and refuse to acknowledge their mistakes. If you don't take ownership for your work, you will not go all out to improve it. This kind of behaviour certainly irates bosses.
  2. Be Accountable for your work. Do not wait for your boss to chase you for reports. Instead chase your boss for work. 
  3. Be Responsible. That means be able to take responses. Not reacting to what has happened, but taking responsibility for your work
  4. Learn on Your Own, leverage on others but do not rely on them
  5. Think about stakeholders, not just yourself, in making decisions. Stakeholders include the government, society, suppliers, customers, staff and investors
  6. Don't cope with your problems, solve them instead.  Many people are happy with work processes and when there are problems, they will solve the symptoms of the problems. They do not go to the root of the problem. As a result, they do not solve problems, merely cope with them or alleviate the problems. For example, the root cause of sales problems is the lack of hunger in the sales team, but many bosses like to cope with the problem by lowering the selling price. The boss would do better by creating the hunger in the sales team. Our next article will talk about this
  7. Set Goals and Go for them. Bosses are internally driven by their own goals. As an employee, you need to set your own goals and align them with your bosses. If you have no goals, you will not go anywhere as you will be drifting
  8. Service to Others as the Highest Purpose. Bosses serve people, not serve themselves. The best way bosses serve people is to do their job well. As an employee, if you can deliver great value in your work, you are serving others.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
