I had a realisation today as to why it is I find it so difficult to work with this team. It’s simply becasue they have no faith. They have no trust in the natural process of events that may begin in chaos, but eventually, though trial and error, will finish in a smooth workflow. Sure, have a basic framework for a plan of how things will work, but really you can plan yourself into an unnecessary corner where there’s suddenly no room for flexibility or creativity. That’s what these people do – they’re so scared of trusting that things will work out that they’ve become rigid and unwilling to take initiative to solve their own problems – this is in direct contrast to the circ team, who have just embraced the excitement and urgency and just fill their days with activity. They have ideas and are willing to try them out just to see if they work.
I don’t understand ref., I can’t work with this culture. It’s draining – I never wanted it in the first place and if the economy had been in better shape, I might have walked away from this.
Bring on the weekend! I live for Fridays at the moment.
