This season, every episode of OMG focuses on a question that directors really need to answer.
OMG is written, produced, narrated and scored by Matt Fullbrook.
TRANSCRIPT:
Question #30: How many of us wish our work were more spontaneous? I admitted in the last episode – to nobody’s surprise, I imagine – that I generally prefer the unpredictable over the predictable. That doesn’t – and shouldn’t – mean that anyone else should feel the same way. But it does mean that in a generally super-structured environment like a board meeting, one of two things is happening. One, I am trying my best to be useful, but am never really able to give my best. Two, I am subtly or unsubtly pushing for cool stuff to happen, thereby annoying the structure-preferring people in the room. And they’re right to be annoyed! If the meeting were in a spontaneous and experimental mode, our positions would be reversed. They’d be less useful than they could be and probably subtly struggling to rein in the chaos. But this is actually a good explanation for why we generally struggle to get the best out of everyone at the same time. The fact is that no one approach or model will be well-suited to the wide range of personalities and preferences in the room. And for what it’s worth I can *guarantee* that there is a wide range of personalities and preferences among your board members and executives. Do I have a brilliant suggestion to address this challenge? No. But again, you can’t solve a problem that you can’t describe. So ask the question!
