The Show Goes On.....

Last week, I blogged about the differences with working with my Japan crisis group and this group, the Faithful Hodgepodge. That experience not only taught me about how to work with different people but what it means to work under pressure. When working under pressure there is no procrastination allowed, you have to do what you have to do. And I am a pretty bad procrastinator. But working with a group of people who are hopefully more motivated than I am helped me to see how it is like to work efficiently and under a deadline. I really think that I do work better under pressure. Working with the other guys was very efficient, we pretty much just sat down in front of the computer and got our presentation done in about an hour or two. I was surprised! But thinking about that, is it more efficient to work under pressure with people you don't know or with people you do know? For me, probably with people I do know. But the reason that I bring that up is because the advantage to having a successful presentation on Family Mart was that we were all business and were concerned with getting the job done. If it was with a group of people that I was a little more familiar with, like Faithful Hodgepodge, I would have been less focused and more willing to chat and waste time. And if the group were to be a group of my close friends that I love, love, love and see every day, forget it! No work done, we would have just talked. So I really appreciated the opportunity to work with different people, it really showed me the ways that we as a group can be more efficient but it also showed me the benefits of working with people you know and like. :)
