Sharing My Intent or Need Clearly

The three things I am grateful today is around the learning for sharing my intent or need clearly.

First, I am happy that my problem yesterday was solved today. I requested the logistics team to do one extra transport for my printers in the lab and it was approved. Like what my friend said yesterday and another colleague said this morning, I just need to share my intent or need that I need the printers to the lab by certain date. There is no need to try to find solution for the logistics team such as the three scenarios I could think of yesterday. I need to learn to trust other to find the solution. So it was amazing when the conversation was only less than 5 mins once I shared what my needs are.

Secondly, I was also amazed that there were share supplies from other test. I just need to indicate the quantity and type I want together on whom should collect the items.

Third, I was asking the firmware team to do something for me. I assumed that person is very busy. But since he asked me to check today. I just checked with him and apparently he is considered free because he is someone that only work if there is an immediate way for testing it. Since his test tool was borrowed by others, he can help me do what I need. I was just imagining if I delayed contacting him today. I may miss out the windows that he is free.

In conclusion, no need to assume what is best for others. Just say our intent or need clearly and let the others respond freely.
