So yesterday, an hour before a schedule meeting to discuss a project, the General Manager in charge of all development told me that I’m charge of this new project and that I’m the lead. Not only that, but he wanted me to go through all the relevant documentation regarding this project and take charge of the meeting.
It was like being hit by a tornado and then struck by lightning.
I used my hour to hastily skim through all the documentation and requirements. Then I came up with a list of relevant and informative questions, a strategy on how I’ll divide the work up between my team-members and I, and started the meeting.
Overall, it was pretty awesome. I have good members on this team, and I’m more than certain than we’ll complete this project with flying colors. Although now that I’m lead, I’m starting to feel their responsibility and trust that they must place on each one of their team-members, I can see how it could be nerve-wrecking at times.
