📌 Interviews – Leadership Moments Part 1

Date: 31 August 2025
From: Office of Compliance & Integrity
To: All Staff, Department of Self Love
Subject: Transcript – Interviews with Emotional Wellbeing & Self Discovery

With the Director away on scheduled Me Time, OCI initiated interviews with selected Offices as part of its mandate to uphold transparency and integrity. Each was asked to reflect on the Director’s leadership by naming three strengths and one area for improvement.

The following transcripts reveal not just answers, but a deep current of admiration for the Director — perhaps more than she would ever admit herself.

Interview 1: Office of Emotional Wellbeing

OCI: Please begin with the Director’s strengths.

Emotional Wellbeing: That’s easy. First — her integrity. She doesn’t just talk about self-love, she lives it, even in the hard moments. That honesty creates trust.

Second — her steadiness. When others panic, she remains calm. Even her sighs sound like they’ve been pre-approved by HR.

Third — persistence. She doesn’t abandon the work of caring for herself, even when it’s inconvenient. That kind of commitment is rare.

OCI: And one improvement?

Emotional Wellbeing: She underplays her worth. Too modest, too quiet when she deserves to be celebrated. If she shared her victories a little louder, others would learn from them.

OCI: Duly recorded: integrity, steadiness, persistence — with a note on modesty (recommendation logged: celebratory decibels to be increased by 10–15%).

Emotional Wellbeing: She doesn’t realise how much she inspires us. That’s the truth.

Interview 2: Office of Self Discovery

OCI: Your assessment, please.

Self Discovery: The Director’s strengths? Curiosity, without question. She asks questions even when answers aren’t obvious.

Second — courage. She’s willing to look inward, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Third — vision. She sees the long horizon. She doesn’t just want today to be better; she imagines the next 40 years.

OCI: And improvement?

Self Discovery: She can overthink. Sometimes the search for meaning delays the joy of simply wandering. I’d tell her: “The question itself is enough.”

OCI: Understood. Curiosity, courage, vision — with an advisory to permit more wandering without over-analysis. (Memo note: joy may be found in detours, not just destinations.)

Self Discovery: She’s braver than she admits. That’s why we follow her.

Closing Statement

The interviews highlights two recurring themes: steadiness and vision. Suggested improvements — louder celebrations, lighter wandering — serve not as critique, but as reminders of balance.
