Turning Passionately Overwhelmed into Devoted Efficiency

Take from Old Fort Church's website.

        Any product created through passion is art. A passionate person could have in mind a masterpiece, but may not share due to lack of design.

        During week 2’s class, many of the team members were not working within the scope of their job titles. The desire to work and the desire succeed were present. Passion was present, but chaotic.

        Our roles within the group reflect the experience we have, as well as the future careers we aspire to. With an artistic background, I was placed into the marketing team during my first day. Once the leaders recognized my ambition and how valuable my input was to the group, they promoted me to CCO, or Chief Creative Officer. This role gives me both the flexibility to coordinate with the marketing team and the power to participate with the leaders. In the future, this role will provide me with the insight of my bosses, as well as the opportunity to learn how to pitch ideas to a group of people in an attractive way.

       By the end of the day, we had settled more into our roles and the team was more comfortable following the orders of our leaders. While there was development within our ranks, there is room for improvement. The quieter members often are talked over and, therefore, many ideas remain unheard. Encouraging each member’s input creates more diversity and ingenuity, which is so important to create a unique and inclusive company and game.

       Our current improvements are exciting; I look forward to witnessing our team progress further.
