Am I Cut out to be a union leader?....
by captainryan on Comments
I have been thinking lately, do I have what it takes to lead a union? Am I fit to do the job? I have lead 4 unions since my start at GS. Here is the list...
The Mythbuster Union...
This was my first union, perhaps I should have waited longer...Activity was booming in the beginning then it started to dwindle, I tried to motivate the members but with no luck. Soon the name was changed to The Discovery Channel Union. Activity was varied and eventually went to an all time low. Finally, it was changed to the TV Union. Activity was good then it yet again dwindled around that time i considerd resigning and I did so. I transfered to an officer then leadership was transfered to more times and today the union is preaty much dead.
The Gamespot Noob Lounge...
It started as a great idea a union for new peopel of GS. Members climbed rapidly posts were high. We ran into a couple low spots but we kept it up. However to many bumps in the road lead to the union failing also. I transfered leadership to an officer and today the union has preaty much died.
The Union Games Club-House...
This was a very very short lived idea for a union. The union was to be all focused on games like this or that say something about the above user. etc etc. Obviously all the games are considerd spam. So the union was doomed from the start. And about 5 days after opening I resigned and demoted everyone.
The Designer Lodge (My Current Union)
So far things are great! 30 posts a day new members everyday! This has been the most succesful union yet.The idea of a place for overworked designer to come and relax was well recieved. But, all of my unions were thought of as "great" ideas. By many people however they all failed. Will this union be the same? If so I will probably hang up my leader title for good.
So my question is should I be a leader? Am I cut out for the job? I am in no way considering resigning from the DL. I just want to know what you guys think.
