在赞比西河边写日记D45:生命在场,温暖随行【CN-EN】

今天一早,前台的一位属地同事悄悄告诉我:她的父亲昨晚过世了。

她原本还坚持照常来上班😢,我第一时间安排她放下工作回家休息,并给予正式丧假。同时,协调行政与人事团队,安排巴士🚌,组织自愿前往吊唁的同事共同前去看望与慰问。

在莫桑比克这片土地上,死亡从不被忌讳,而是以一种更自然、平和的态度被面对。他们相信,死亡是与祖灵的重逢,是回归大地的旅程。那天,我看到她眼中的悲伤中夹杂着一种从容——这是一种文化给予的力量,也是一种朴素而深沉的信仰。

💌 我们送上了公司代表全员的慰问物资,表达心意。虽然不贵重,但在那一刻,她湿润的眼神说明了一切。

🌉 傍晚,我独自走上跨海大桥。天边的晚霞像一幅泼墨山水画,金红交织,风吹过脸庞,是温柔,也是纪念。

❤ 在非洲这些年,我越来越懂得:
管理从不是只看KPI与流程,
而是你在每个“人需要你的时刻”,有没有及时站出来。

一场去世,是对生命的提醒。
一次集体探望,是团队的温度。
一次丧假的安排,是管理的人情味。

🌍 我们都在不同的路上,但请记得——
“Being seen and being cared for is the softest kind of power.”💫
感谢🙏

🕊 Zambezi Diary
D45 A Sunset, A Goodbye, A Team That Cares
Hey Hive fam 👋

Today started with quiet news—our front desk colleague lost her father last night.
She still showed up for work (Moz people are built different💪).
I gently sent her home for proper bereavement leave, no questions asked.

We arranged a company bus 🚌, and those who wished to visit joined together to offer support and comfort. In Mozambique, death isn’t scary or taboo—it’s embraced as part of the life cycle. There’s sorrow, yes, but also a calm dignity that’s hard to describe.

🌅 By sunset, I found myself on the sea bridge, watching the sky go gold and soft.
It reminded me that grief and grace can walk hand in hand.

🧺 We didn’t do anything fancy—just showed up, brought small gifts, and stood with her.
That’s all it takes sometimes.

Real management isn’t about targets and KPIs.
It’s about showing up when your people need you most.

Here in Africa, I’ve learned that kindness is underrated.
And sometimes, the strongest leadership move… is just being human. 💛
Cheers!

坦然面对离开这件事,也许离开只是回归。😂

其实对于这个death话题也是思考再三,本来是觉得很多人都是在国内大家的生命哲学观念都是比较保守传统的,可能不太容易接受,后来想了想还是应该把非洲这边分享出来也是一种正向的交流,多元共生。不娱乐化,不抹黑化!
