Kwa miaka miwili iliyopita, nimekuwa na bahati ya kutumika nikiwa karani wa mkutano wetu. Lilikuwa jukumu nililolichukua kwa kusita na kutarajia. Sikuwahi kushushwa upande wowote. <\/p>\n
Ni bora na mbaya zaidi kuliko vile ningeweza kufikiria. Koti na bolts ni rahisi na moja kwa moja: karani hupanga barua kwenye sanduku la karani juu ya ngazi hadi kwenye folda za waitishaji wa kamati mbalimbali. Barua iliyosalia ni ya karani kushughulikia\u2014katika visa fulani akijibu barua, na nyingine akituma barua za shukrani kwenye mikutano ya biashara kutoka kwa michango yetu. Karani hurahisisha mikutano ya biashara\u2014pamoja na ibada au bila, kutegemea unazungumza na nani. Ninatuma ombi la vipengee vya ajenda wiki moja kabla ya kila mkutano wa biashara. <\/p>\n
Lakini kuna zaidi. Kwa sababu washiriki wetu na wanaohudhuria wanatoka zaidi kutoka kwa madhehebu mengi ya Kiprotestanti na imani ya Kikatoliki, matarajio ya karani yanaweza kuwa tofauti kabisa. Wengine humwona mtu huyo kama kiongozi wa kiroho, wengine kama msimamizi tu. Wengine wanataka imani yako iakisi wao wenyewe, huku wengine wakikuona kuwa huru kuchunguza njia yako mwenyewe, hata ikiwa ni tofauti kabisa na yao. <\/p>\n
Migogoro inapotokea, kama itakavyokuwa kwa idadi ya watu binafsi na familia katika mkutano wetu, karani mara nyingi huwa juu ya orodha ya wale wa kuwaarifu. Wengine watataka ushauri wako na ushiriki wako, wakati wengine wanataka tu ufahamu kilichotokea. Nina hakika kwamba kutokana na kazi yangu ya kitaaluma (daktari wa magonjwa ya akili ya familia) kama huluki inayojulikana katika mkutano, labda nimeitwa mara nyingi zaidi ili kutoa ushauri ambapo mizozo kati ya watu huzuka. <\/p>\n
Kuwezesha mkutano kwa ajili ya biashara ni changamoto zaidi kuliko inavyoweza kuonekana. Kujaribu kuruhusu muda wa ukimya, kwa ajili ya kutulia, bado inaonekana kama jambo geni kwa mikutano hii mada zinapopamba moto na maoni yanapamba moto. Mikutano inaweza kuanzia ya kuchosha sana na ya kawaida hadi nyakati ambapo maarifa na mbinu mpya zinaweza kutokea kutokana na muda uliotumika kimya kimya. Nimehamasishwa milele na uzoefu wa mshiriki mmoja katika mkutano wa ukarani, alipozungumza juu ya kutokubaliana na majadiliano huku akili yako ikiwa wazi ili maoni yako yabadilishwe. <\/p>\n
Uzoefu wa ukarani ni kubadilisha maisha. Imeniruhusu kuingiza uongozi mpya katika vikundi ambavyo mimi ni sehemu yake\u2014sio kudhibiti, bali kuanzisha majadiliano na kuhakikisha kuwa maoni ya wachache yanasikika. Hivi majuzi, nilifanya hivi kiotomatiki katika kikundi cha madaktari ambao ninashiriki nao majukumu ambapo kumekuwa na wasiwasi kuhusu jinsi tulivyokuwa tukifanya kazi pamoja. Katika kuanzisha mjadala, moja kwa moja nilimgeukia mwenzangu mmoja ambaye alionekana kuwa na wasiwasi lakini hakuwa akiueleza. Nilijua wakati huo kwamba mafunzo yangu ya Quaker katika mkutano wa biashara yalikuwa jambo la thamani kubwa ambalo nitakuja nalo kwenye maeneo mengine, pamoja na mkutano wetu wenyewe. <\/p>\n
Mnamo Februari 2007, nilituma barua pepe hii kwa Marafiki wengi kote nchini:<\/p>\n
Wapendwa Marafiki\u2014kama karani anayejiuzulu mwaka huu mwishoni mwa muhula wa kawaida, ninaweka pamoja baadhi ya mapendekezo, ushauri, na uzoefu kutoka kwa Marafiki ambao wamehudumu kama makarani wa mikutano yao husika kuhusu kile ambacho wangetoa kwa karani mpya. Nitakuwa nikiwasilisha kipande hiki kwa Jarida la Friends<\/em> , ambalo limeonyesha kupendezwa na jambo lolote linalohusiana na ukarani! <\/p>\n
Nilijiuliza ikiwa unaweza kushiriki ushauri wako mwenyewe kwa karani wa siku zijazo\u2014ni nini wanaweza kuhitaji kujua wanapochukua nafasi hii?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
