Leadership, the trait that I know that I am weaker at as a producer. I’ve got the administrative, organizational stuff down pretty well, but being the motivated figurehead and even the captain visually and verbally is something I’m still working on.
Here’s an interesting article that was passed on to me by Shirley Saldamarco, a faculty member at the ETC:
The article talks about effective leadership in the British Royal Navy and cites two specific things:
1. Cheerfulness
2. Informal communication
I’ve been working a lot on #1 specifically. I have a very objective and reserved personality, which is steadying but not inspiring. #2 is intriguing because within my circle of friends, I feel very connected to the informal body of knowledge of ETC students past and present, though I am aware of students that are not / form assumptions together with a circle of friends from only their current class.
