Weekend Afterthoughts - July 20th & 21st

It's been good to get back to university this past week.

I've quite enjoyed the structure and introductions to the courses that await us.

As a group, we're definitely still finding ourselves and each other, and we're experimenting with a new found orderliness to the way we engage and conduct our meetings. For example, our division into departments/teams of the business and clearly defined roles and responsibilities.

It seems like everyone is on board, but I hope that we've thought everything through in implementing so that there is still room for people to feel inspired and ambitious, and creative and proactive in their approach to our business.

What definitely happened towards the end of last semester was that people experienced 'burn out'. The rush of business, projects and exams, took its tool. And during the holidays, those of us who are not used to and do not regularly operate at a fast and effective pace, recovered with a vengeance.

Upon reflecting over the weekend, I notice that I'm feeling hope in that we do not burn out as a team, and that I may stay strong and driven right until the end of the year, and beyond!

Until next time,
Craig
