Halloween Management

On Halloween, instead on going trick or treating, I volunteered at my church's trunk and treat. I ended up spending the whole night running a schedule of performances of a skit. I ran around making sure that everyone in the skit had the supplies that they needed and that they were on stage for their performance at the exact time. Everything ran smoothly, but I was stressing out the whole time. I learned that I can manage people very easily, but I also stress out about every little detail when I am managing people. It was pretty amazing to see the crowd react to the performance though. It made me realize that the community doesn't care about all of the little details, it is about the message the skit portrays. As a leader in many different aspects, I have learned to not focus on the details so much, but to focus on the whole picture and take it for what it is.
