Climbing the Corporate Ladder

I am continuing building my portfolio of experiences in my professional career. This week, it was attempting to continue working on a team project when the person overseeing the team changes. This assignment began last semester. The assignment would primarily affect 2 campus, but 2 other campus would only see a minor change. The two campus that would not really be affected by the change did not feel that it was major enough to need to join the team. They gave their consent to any decision we made. The team was made up of two people from the two main campuses and a date was set to meet and complete the assignment. Before that date occurred, the district person overseeing our team was transfered and no one replaced the position. We canceled our date until we could find out what was happening. We met with the former overseer who said that as long as both campus agreed to the changes, no district approval was needed. We set today as our date to meet. Subs were arranged and everything seemed ready to go until yesterday afternoon when someone from the district was found to oversee our team. They wouldn't let us meet until people from all campus could meet. This was unnecessary and had already been resolved. When we left yesterday, we were "on hold." We arrived this morning, and thanks to some last minute phone calls by my boss, we were given the green light. The reason we couldn't meet was because the overseer had several questions that they wanted answered, but never bothered to ask the team members! Today, while working on the assignment, several people stopped by asking why the other two schools weren't there. We told them that this was taken care of several weeks ago. The two schools were not going to be impacted and already gave their consent. The assignment was completed, and I added a new experience to my portfolio. So overseers, if you have a question about your teams, ask them!
