Needless to say, things do not always go as planned, and when that happens people show their true colors. Our team has been spoiled this year as we have tended to complete our designated tasks outlined last week fairly competently. However, tonight is the night before my last NFTY event and the last few days have been hectic with the last-minute change in schedule and the furious re-write ups of programs.
Thankfully, we all can depend on each other. Everything that needed to be completed was completed, and I am sure the weekend will be amazing. Also- stress builds character!
Valuable lessons are learned in these moments: it is okay when plans do not fall through or turn out as anticipated. It is important to accept circumstances that result from occurrences beyond our control, and focus on what we can control to make the best of a new situation.
That is a piece of advice to anyone reading this when it seems as though everything is falling apart.
Of course, there can be much more difficult circumstances. In my opinion those occur when people are unable to complete tasks assigned to them. In NFTY it is very difficult to remove someone from board, and that is a decision made by the regional advisor. We were fortunate to not be put in that situation this year, however this does make a key different between Business Management in NFTY versus the real world. If a board member does not fulfill their responsibilities, the region suffers for their year, however if someone fails to do their paying job, they will be fired and replaced with a more competent individual.
