Yesterday was my last day in the organization I have been working for in the last 4 years. I was so touched that my team has prepared a Hello and Goodbye event for me. They demonstrated a great deal of creativity, starting from the way the invited me without myself being suspicious of the surprise they were preparing, the videos, the games, the food, until the people they invited, who have contributed significantly to my career growth.
In this short posting, I would like to say that in many cases you know whether you are being loved or not only when you are leaving, or when you no longer hold a formal authority towards your team's career. It is the time when all of your good deeds and dedication is being put on test.
I would strongly recommend that you bear this in mind in your daily professional life, when you are interacting with your team, your stakeholders, your customers, and your managers. By always look ahead to the time when you are about to leave, you will have the passion and self control to always perform your best and to exercise a genuine care to your team.
For me, as I mentioned in the event, I am so thankful that I have been part of a great team that delivers so much for the organization. Being only one ordinary person given the opportunity to becoming part of such a team is the best thing I have in my career life so far. I can not be thankful enough to my team, my mentors, my managers and my leaders in the organization for all the friendship and support we have been extending to each other in the last four years.
Now as I am moving forward to a new organization, I am excitedly looking forward to the great people I am sure I will find in the new organization, new challenges I will face and the contributions I will strive my best to make to the organization.
