Production Tier / Milking Men
March 18, 2009
I teach two different classes, or rather, manage a design studio for two different groups of people. Beginner and intermediate.
This intermediate (production) is so different from beginner (immersion) tier.
For one, everyone speaks English, and everyone has the full use of all 5 senses.
I feel like the immersion tier will be my “Leadership Challenge” days, and the production tier will just be me being who I am.
I have high hopes for this class. Some of their designs are legit already. It is going to be fun to take them from joining a program to knowing how to successfully run a marketing and design firm.
During a discussion I wanted to say “milk the system” or “stick it to the man”, but “lets milk the man” came out. So now we have an inside joke at my expense (this is where the unique title came from).
Today’s Learned Lesson
One thing I am learning is the fine art of vision casting and the value of buy-in. Today was primarily casting vision and partnering with thier ability and who they are. I believe because we are thier biggest fans, they are going to be the biggest advocates of the cause.
Hasta later…
