When new members are added to a group there is inherently change that has to happen for the group to adapt to its new members. When a group member is added and they don't fit the values of the organization it causes a lot of tension. This is something important to remember for the future because if someone doesn't fit what is needed and expected of a team, they create severe dysfunction in the team. 

A bit of responsibility

Last week I was able to be a captain for our Frozen Summer Fun fireworks. Captains are responsible for setting up viewing areas, designating cast members when to take breaks and where to stand during crowd control. It rained that night, so I ended up not doing a lot, but I'm hopeful to be given this responsibility again in the future!

"The most authentic people in the world are the most interesting, the most innovative and the most charismatic."

Model the way

The best leadership I see is with our coordinators. They are leadership we see and interact with on a daily basis, they help to make sure the ride is running smoothly and are there if we need help. There are some coordinators who are better than others, but the best of them are the ones who come and work with us. We have a serious understaffing problem and when people call out and we don't have enough staff there are coordinators who will step in and work with us. They are the ones I admire most because they truly model the way for us. Even though they are in a leadership position they are not afraid to come down and work for the better of the attraction.
