This week was a bad week for us as John discovered that James over plane the temporary frame number 4 and 5 on the starboard side. We had to take corrective action to glue pine strips onto the frames with James participation. However James "disappears" after the theory session on Wednesday morning. John and myself had to work on the corrections. The stem (which I am responsible) also seems not to be aligned to the centre line and this had added to the group's frustration. Our group seem to be lacking behind in our project timeline with these setbacks.
Taking these as learning experiences rather than "mistakes" helped me to lessen the frustrations within. At least I learn how to "repair" such "mistakes". How did these "mistakes" come about? I needed to reflect on these and draw out the learning points/principles. Miscommunication and lack of clearly set goals/objectives? Are these parts of the issues. Being absent from most of the initial week of the small craft built on James's part could also be a contributing factor. Too many hands could also be an issue - with the resulting lack of communication and common ground for the expectations of outcomes, goals and objectives.
