So, I went to the Camarillo branch last week to be mentored by their assistant branch manager.  It was a good experience.  I felt like I was wasting a lot of time while I was there, but it was good.  It gave me an opportunity to meet with someone other than my managers to get some ideas.  I met with my managers yesterday to go over my action plan.  It didn't go quite like I had planned.  I think I might have covered too much information with them and as a result, they were overwhelmed and we didn't set a clear plan for what we are going to do.  I am suppose to meet with them weekly now, so I will address that next week and see how it goes.  A lot of ideas I had were things I will implement when I have my own team to manage, so it's okay if we don't do everything now.  I still have to let them manage how they see fit.  I am trying my hardest to think before I speak.  I have to keep reminding myself that maybe I need to change because I can't expect to change the world.  I can only control myself.  For someone who likes to be in control of everything, that is a difficult thing to admit.  So we will see...it's definitely something I am glad I am learning now versus later.
