So, re-elections came up for Tech Coordinator (our version of TD I suppose) and my partner dropped out a week before the voting. So, result day comes and I won (which I'm quite excited about) but my partner is this new kid who doesn't know a thing.
Any advice on teaching in an extremely quick manner?
The guy is reasonably smart but he hasn't worked anything and he pretty much got it on popularity. My director told me to use him as a front man because he's more charismatic than I am, but I really don't want to have to do everything myself....its an awful lot to take on.
And, I've found that its really difficult to get my crew to respect me as an authority figure, they're used to me being one of them and not really caring about the rules too much. (Dumb on my part I know) Any words of wisdom as far as earning the respect? (They all know I'm capable of doing my job they just don't want to take orders from me and they're getting really whiny about my new enforcing of the rules.)
Thanks!
