At INSEAD, you can do two types of clubbing.
Type one involves lots of loud music, sweaty bodies on the dancefloor, and alcohol. You may get pissed drunk, have a hangover and feel really tired the next day. You will come late for class (if you actually make it at all) and get a Champagne Fine.
Type two involves hours of a different kind of labour, also dancing around many people around you, but without music and alcohol. You may want to get pissed drunk but don’t have the time; and you may feel exhausted too.
Working for an INSEAD club, that is.
I’ve spent the last two days just preparing for club stuff. This afternoon at the Club Fair, I was stationed at a desk for hours, welcoming P1s and answering their queries. It was great meeting new people, actually.
This evening I was working on more PPT slides for our meeting tomorrow. This is all partly because I didn’t delegate enough, as I feel bad that other people are busy, and when it come to inserting local content, I’d be the best person for it. However, other committee members offered to help, and I should also ask for their help more often. So I’m very openly calling for new P1s to provide new ideas, leads and help run the club.
To make things move faster and to let members have more say, I propose that those who are interested in running a new program, event, trek or anything else can do it independently once the club in general approves of it. Neither I nor the rest of the committee will be a bottleneck… just go with it! I’ll be around to provide local support if members need a Singaporean to speak to someone, but otherwise I’m happy for a little extra time for myself ;-)
