Those of you that know me (Dave) well will know that I love targets/goals and cannot live without them. I have tried hard to drop that side of me a little out here but am also being asked by lots of the guys here for help on how to set them/work to them too which is interesting.Whilst I do not want to be driven targets/aims out here we have always been very keen not to waste our time here and ensure that all that we have given up (salary, home etc) has a reason and purpose to it. In other words we do want to ensure that being here has some clear outcomes.
Tomorrow is the first chance Raj and I will have to sit and discuss what we both want out of the time here even thought it is a month on Tuesday already!!! We have agreed to both come with our lists of what we want to see happen especially as June is a month of focused with work on the trust. We have lots to do!
