Looking back, sometimes I wished I had received solid advice from the senior management team on how to manage people. This is especially so if you’re promoted at a relatively young age compared to your peers.
If that is you, here are useful tips from Emily Subrata, a 35-year-old Director of Sudamala Resorts. Sudamala Resorts is a Bali-based hotel management company that specializes in crafting art-inspired boutique properties.
Apart from these tips, Emily also recommends that you find yourself a mentor you can trust to quicken your progress as a leader. It’s probably a good time to work on that LinkedIn profile too.
#1: Have empathy

“We are humans first and foremost and acknowledging this is beneficial. We all have feelings, concerns and reasons. We have families and priorities. Understanding what’s behind your employees’ actions and motivations, and remembering that they’re not simply working machines, are the most efficient way to combining everyone’s energies to achieving both personal and company goals.”
#2: Recognize achievements
Image Credits: unsplash.com
“We all know how the hard slog can be, so I live by the philosophy of taking all the wins, no matter how small, and celebrating them, no matter how simple. These acts could be what fuel the team to go that extra mile and stop the camel’s back from breaking. It’s so simple yet beneficial.”
#3: Actions speak louder than words
Image Credits: unsplash.com
“This is particularly vital when working with, or managing, people who may be more senior than yourself in terms of age or experience. For all that you say, nothing comes across louder than your own action. I realised very quickly that every single thing I do is observed and interpreted by the entire team. They could be incorrect in their interpretation, but to them, it is their truth. So as best as I can, I show my intentions through my own actions.”
#4: No two people are the same
Image Credits: unsplash.com
“Every individual has their own strengths, weaknesses and goals. I believe a team member feels even more valued when they know we have worked hard to get to know them, which sometimes begins with calling them by their name and asking how they are, so that we can approach them in a way that suits them the best.”
#5: Remain reachable
Image Credits: unsplash.com
“I strongly believe that we must always know our own team, their achievements, challenges, ideas and concerns. They need to feel that their leaders are not out of their reach. I appreciate the structure of the organisation but that shouldn’t be a barrier for open discussions.”
Happy birthday, Singapore! Are you celebrating at home or outdoors with your loved ones? Hope all of you are resting well and recharging this long weekend.
We can’t think of any other better time than today to introduce to you Studio MU / YU’s ‘Masak-Masak’ collection. This is because it’s inspired by the nostalgic icons of what Singaporeans love. If you were born and raised in Singapore, then you will find this earring collection hitting you in the feels.
Anyway, Studio MU / YU is a romanisation of the Chinese characters ‘木语’, which translates to ‘the language of wood’.
About ‘Masak-Masak’ collection
According to Studio MU / YU, ‘Masak-Masak’ is a reflection of the importance of “play” in our everyday lives, to take time to foster our imaginations and creativity.
This August, as we grapple with what it means to be Singaporean amidst global uncertainty, Studio MU / YU would like to take a moment to celebrate Singapore through the nostalgic lens of childhood.
From beloved HDB designs to our vibrant food culture, this is a sentimental homage to all the quintessential parts of Singapore that makes it home, truly.
#1: Breakfast 早餐
You’ve probably heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. As dietician Sarah Elder rightly points out, “The body uses a lot of energy stores for growth and repair through the night. Eating a balanced breakfast helps to up our energy, as well as protein and calcium used throughout the night.”
When I think of what a Singaporean breakfast (allow me to use such terminology) looks like, it’s about kopi, toast, and eggs. If you share the same sentiments, then Studio MU / YU’s breakfast earring collection is what you need.
While Studio MU / YU does not have a lunch set, they have a high tea earring collection designed for peeps who love pandan cake, chwee kueh, kueh salat, and teh! Shall not ramble further and let the pictures do the talking.
Price: from 16 SGD
#3: Potong Ice Cream 冰淇淋
Potong ice cream was definitely a part of my childhood and even now! My favourite’s got to be the classic red bean flavour which Studio MU / YU’s Potong ice cream collection includes! Apart from red bean, it also comes in yam, durian, and coconut.
Price: from 16 SGD
#4: Supper 宵夜
We shall end Studio MU / YU’s ‘Masak-Masak’ collection with everybody’s favourite supper items in the form of earrings. Think roti prata, egg prata, milo dinosaur, and curry! We feel hungry just looking at the creative designs.
