A Follow-Up on Touchy Subjects
Originally published at Joe Terranova. You can comment here or there.
As a follow-up to this, I figured I should post to let people know that I will not actually be posting a tally of expenses for September’s Event (though I will still be keeping a tally for myself). After talking to a friend, I’ve decided to table this line of discussion for now, as it’s causing more animosity than it should.
I’ve set an entry on my calendar for June 1st, at which point I will bring the issues - handling funds, handling liability, handling sponsors - up for discussion again. There will be disagreements, there will be long discussions, but - most importantly - there should not and will not be hurt feelings, accusations, falling outs, or any other behavior which has tainted current discussion. In 9 months time, we must have matured - both as teams and as team leaders - enough to be able to discuss issues larger than ourselves and our individual teams. If we haven’t, we’ll have larger problems than handling money.
I apologize if I’ve stepped on any toes. Expect a message from me on June 1st.
Update: apparently we’ll be discussing this at our next meeting, which should hopefully resolve this and help us move forward. Huzzah!
