I have been reading a lot about this, mostly short articles and lists. I have a new staff and i want to start off on the right foot with a new team. It is hard to not also constantly look at my manager and evaluate when i should just take care of what is in my control.
So i went from a new years retreat into 4 days of camp, the first day i got 17,000 steps. I wasn't able to set up ahead of time because of holidays, and our planning was not as great as i wanted. But we got 35 kids and had a lot of fun. Pretty intense. I felt like a leader when i kept helping my staff get better at her tone, and when i called her on it. I felt more like a manager when i felt like i was dragging my staff through things. My long term staff that i totally count on is also a little passive aggressive, or just checks out. One thing that happened was staff didn't have everything they needed for a project, some things like bowls are used for many projects, but they get set up time to check their supplies and said nothing, or were confused about times and said nothing, but talked to her. So now there is a communication thing, so it seems being a leader is more complicated. Btw these staff work at another site and i borrowed them for camp
Okay off the week
