A bigger challenge came when you were the new Head on the block. He had more experience, yes, but familiarity of the environment was something he had to adapt to. Months later, Isaek would say that he had done so if anyone asked them directly.
"Excellent," Isaek knew he nailed it by having the right colleagues work together again. His brief contact with Jerald to prep them for the situation was promising and pleasing to confirm that Jerald wasn't just being diplomatic over how well he and Brody connected. Having close connections was key, he thought while he observed Brody overlooking the document. "Be sure to write all the languages you're fluent in within the box below your signature." As another note, so he could have it updated overtime when needed. He was then asked how they could improve.
"Good question." Isaek commented for a moment. "From what I've observed, you're prompt and direct, which credits your reliability. I would say continue that but most importantly, keep your current connections formed and be open to any criticism and new connections." Stuff he was already familiar with, now for the criticism. "From this note, it's apparent that you were owed this new position for some time. My suggestion for you on what to improve on is not to overlook your accomplishments. You're a humble individual, which is great for diplomacy, but you could improve on how soon you take action." Now for the serious note. "Suffice to say, just because you were owed this position, didn't guarantee that I would've accepted your request. When you came into this office and presented your achievements and reasoning, that's when I knew you deserved it. An Ambassador with enough experience is as direct and clear with their ambition as you've shown. I encourage you to continue that, and you will go far... not just literally." Mini humour there, forgive him.
After letting all the information sink in, Isaek patiently waited as they continued overlooking the document. Waiting until there was a pause with them "Was there anything else?" Anything he wanted to ask, clarify something in the document, borrow his broom? The latter he might have a firmer reply to. Ahem.
Brody was inwardly a little too thrilled to be working with Jerald again. One of the benefits of working in this Department was the vast number of persons he had been able to work with. Even better was that interacting with all those personalities had allowed him to learn about individuals and helped him adapt to the personality types. Jerald was one of those that provided no challenges when it came to teamwork. “Ah. That’s quite a short list,’’ Brody stated modestly. English excluded, he was fluent in a dozen languages, all of which he would list in alphabetical order.
That out of the way, it allowed him to focus on the answer to his question. It was quite clear that Isaek had a lot to say, which made Brody glad that he had asked said question. There was a quick nod from him; being prompt, direct and open were traits that he would not let go of so easily. The next bit left him taken aback, not because of the directness but because Brody knew that what Isaek said was true. He just needed to be reminded of something he knew already. “I’ll keep all of that in mind.” Brody hadn’t always been humble; as a teen he had been sort of the opposite. “Thank you for your honesty. You can be sure I’ll use your advice… to go far.” Brody’s lips twitched upwards in a smile at the humour. In a way, he needed to hear all of what was just directed at him. It was often easy to forget one’s worth, after all. “Nothing else.” No broom borrowing was needed, fortunately, Isaek. Brody added his signature to the document with a flourish, added the languages then held it out to Isaek. “I think that’s in order,’’ he said, placing the quill on the desk beside the inkwell. There came an exhale, filled with happiness. “I’ll let you get back to your work now.” |
