Well done, Lucas.<\/p>\n

Post Script from the author:
\n<\/strong>Looking back on it now, I\u2019d say that the research that I did for my study was one of the most eye-opening things I did involving WIDB. We all know the college radio station archetype, but it\u2019s really different to talk to other stations, managers, and students in the same boat. One of the things WIDB always seems to deal with is the yearly rebuilding of the wheel – managers getting their sea legs and new DJs learning the ropes.<\/p>\n

The reunion is a bit of the same experience –
\nOh, you tried to re-engineer the studio too?
\nOh, there was a previous time we (fill in the blank here with some management decision)?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I recommend to any new WIDB\u2019er reading this:
\n1) Try and learn from previous actions of our station or others –
\ntalk to WIDB Alums\u00a0or read\u00a0some literature on management and organizations.
\n2) Don\u2019t take it too seriously, and
\n3) Treasure it. You\u2019ll be surprised where it all becomes useful later on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
