I admire effective coordinators.
They act like air traffic controllers. Carefully taking time to understand the position of everyone in a space, and then working collaboratively to bring people in and out safely.
In order to coordinate effectively, you need to know a couple of things:
All of the players in your space.
The goals, hopes, and dreams of all the players in your space.
The terrain of your space.
Your agency. Know the amount of change you can make.
The ultimate goal.
Perhaps there are more things a great coordinator should know… the above is just a start.
Cheers to effective coordination. A skill you and I could work to better develop within ourselves.
