it's a little discouraging when people don't show up to practice.
3, 4 seems like it's acceptable. i can understand when people tell me when they don't make it.
but straight out missing seems outright irresponsible.
i guess despite the fact it's IM, people still want to win. and once a week doesn't seem like it's asking for much.
i've asked when people want to play, can play. no feedback.
today, less than half the team showed up.
couldn't really do much with it.
i have a slight cold, i'm tired, i have other things i could be doing too.
missing another game tomorrow, but another game at 11 pm. so finally i'll get to play.
i don't know if i'm putting too much responsibility on myself or not.
i enjoy the presence of people so it was great that we had eight other people there.
but i also feel like if i put the effort, people should too.
sigh.
i'm going to bed.

The joys of being a leader...
ReplyDeleteI know how discouraging it can be - the biggest thing is to let people know how disappointed and hurt you are by their lack of initiative/commitment, and if they apologize but don't support their apology with their actions, or if they don't really own up to their lack of commitment, then...it's not really your failure.
You seem to have a good perspective of the situation. Let people know how you feel (what you wrote in your blog post).
(Not like I'm trying to impinge on your leadership skills or anything like that - just sharing your pain)
Good luck.
