Evolution into management

Danielle pointed me out today to Rands In Repose’s latest post and it’s amazing how much similarity there is between what he relates and what I’ve been through in the past 5 years, from the time that I moved into management first at Greenpeace International and subsequently at Rising Sun Pictures. Mine was definitely an evolution into management, initially I was very reticent as I never believed I could really do the job, it seemed to require someone very smart and intelligent, and I didn’t see me as either :-)

As with everything, you have to be passionate about it. I wouldn’t have lasted a minute at this if I didn’t really put all my energy in trying to be better than I thought I could. Like many of the stories that you will read from me, I initially get a lot of self-doubt but through effort, perseverance and dedication, I work around the problems. And I do believe that learning is a life-long endeavour, so I am always open to new experiences.

Overview of System, originally uploaded by brunom.

This is our bed in December 2007. We’ve got a prominent pumpkin growing up there in the front, plus some established tomatoes you can see in the back ground, and a few marigolds. In the big fiberglass bed on the right you can see some little seedlings we’ve just planted, including parsley, cherry tomatoes in yellow, orange and red, eggplant, lettuce, small leeks and basil.
