| Gemini March Newsletter |
March
is upon us, and as we sweep away the winter blues (which
seem to have temporarily come back again with a
vengeance), Gemini has been busy enhancing many of our
procedures and client services for 2010, as well as
growing our operations in new markets. As you will note
from this newsletter, we have just opened our first
Singapore office as part of our expansion and as a way
to better serve our current Singapore clients. I am
pleased to say the Singapore operations seem to be as
busy as Hong Kong, and we can foresee great
opportunities for us in this market as the year
progresses. I am also pleased to announce
that we have upgraded our Gemini website
(www.gemini.com.hk) with a more pleasing design and
better navigation. The site allows our clients to inform
us of job orders they would like us to handle, and in
the coming months new services will also be launched
that will allow our clients to follow the process of our
consultants as they work on your job order
requirements. As March also signals the end
of the financial year for many of us, the hiring frenzy
seems to have already started, and can already see this
year transforming from a client driven market, back to
candidates who are a lot more fickle as the job offers
flow thick and fast.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of
any service.

Gemini Singapore Office |
Gemini is not lost on the fact that Hong Kong
and Singapore share many similarities, and it
is with that in mind our growth plans for 2010
have included opening a Gemini office in
Singapore. The talent trends
we find in our regional
operations match well with the demands our
Singapore clients have, thus expanding the
Gemini operations to Singapore is a natural
progression and probably long overdue.
To support our Singapore
expansion, I have pleasure to announce the
appointment of Mr. Edwin Tiah as the Branch
Manager of our Singapore operations. Edwin has an
exceptional consulting and recruitment background
honed from within the hospitality and casino
market, as well as in general recruitment
projects. Edwin and his team will be pleased to
handle any enquiries you may have. Contact details

| How
to Maintain Authority at Work? |
| If you've ever watched the TV show "The
Office", you know that the boss, Michael Scott, is
portrayed as a likeable buffoon and none of his
employees take him seriously. In a real office,
however, you don't need to make mistakes nearly as
outlandish as Michael Scott's for employees to
undermine your authority.
One recent article by Robert
Akerlof talks about managerial authority
and the fact that there is chaning
relationship between managers and workers (i.e.,
the manager tells the worker what to do, and the
worker does it), but instead incorporates a
sociological examination of office politics and
leadership.
Here are four things that
managers do that can undermine their authority:
Avoiding these mistakes is especially
crucial for new managers whose authority
long-standing employees may be inclined to ignore.
Akerlof also has some straightforward advice for
managers to follow in the long run: "Ideally,
showing confidence, ability and intelligence will
help a manager establish a deeper sense of
authority over
time." |
