Build Season Drama

[BrendanB]

Biggest drama:

When all of the powertools in the shop broke on the Saturday of ship- chopsaw, bandsaw, drill press, table saw, and the hacksaw.
Not a fun weekend!

The more organized a team becomes and the more that communication skills improve within the team, the less potential there is for continual drama. There may be occasions when emotions run high or conflict develops but good communication will help defuse or resolve those quickly, rather than let them fester.

Anytime there are 2 or more people involved in achieving a common goal, opportunity arises for sharing of opinions, ideas, suggestions, knowledge, and wisdom. Maturity plays a key role in how students and mentors resolve conflicts that arise in a team. Passion plays into the team makeup and it can help fuel inspiration and enthusiasm. It has to be guided so that it doesn't fuel unnecessary drama and stubbornness. Building a team is hard work and it is an ongoing process that never really ends.
