Rutgers Capoeira Club warming up
Politics annoys everyone.
It happens whenever people organize, in different clubs or groups or affiliations. It’s a necessary evil that contains a lot of discussion that can easily turn into disputes, which align with arguments if not handled properly. It’s a pain, but its how people get things down.
Convincing colleagues to follow your lead it a tough gig. Everybody has their own ideas, plans of execution, and can be stubborn. As one of the latter, I know it alms my frustrations, and as a leaders, is the best thing to do for those wanting to contribute.
It’s also one of the better problems to have having many people to organize and agree on things means that your organization is growing. Growth is how all business survive, and the lack of it shows which ones die. So if you aren’t dealing with those politics, you’re growing to the point when you do.
I remember being a part of the Rutgers Capoeira Club leadership, arguing over what we should do, how we do it, and how to convey the information to our mestre. You can’t figure bonds that develop doing those meetings, and loathe them while you’re in it. Arguments can leave each member discouraged when they got back to the dorm at night.
I can’t help but miss the opportunities to have meetings like that.
