NiHao Studios Growth

This week has been interesting to say the least.

As well as having been a very busy week, this previous week has also been a fruitful week with 3 new additions to the NiHao Studios team.

Chris (Grimthorn), Caroline, and Jane have joined the NiHao Studios team to fill their specialist field positions.

This makes life a little easier for me from the head person's point of view, yet it also adds to it new challenges, more responsibilities, and a little more to be concerned with on a daily basis.

Its a funny thing...
One brings in more people to make one's life a little easier, then in doing so; one's life becomes more complicated.

Chris fills the position of 3d weapon's modeler.
Caroline takes the lead in project management.
And Jane takes over from Irene in translation.

One would think that with such an array of professionals around me I should be able to relax and take a long needed break.

Unfortunately not so.

Seems now I have even more to do, pre-thinking what the pro's have to be thinking about.

Its a bad habit that I have but it proves to be useful in times when something goes wrong.
For when something does go wrong, and something always does, I have already prepared a number of probable solutions for the event.

Sometimes I think team management has nothing to do with people management at all, but has more to do with problem solving.

Most people when told to perform a task will do so, whether it be done well or not.

But its when everything falls apart that the manager shows his / her true strengths.
And thats what the manager / head is for...To get the machine working again when it has grinded to a halt.

However, that means with every new person joining the team there's new probable wrongs that need solutions....Oooooh my poor head.

I am now thinknig its time to bring in a middle management team.
A sort of buffer between me and the Pro's that make up NiHao Studios.

I dont actually want to, but for my own sake I think I have to.
I think if I problem solve much more than I am doing now, I would be getting close to achieving god mind power lol.

So an interesting and busy week.
Fruitful yet not without its own drawbacks.
Yet growth must of course be a good thing.

One hopes.
