During my time at TCL the team I was managing were a little naive. Some of the more junior staff were given a variety of projects to work on, the work of which was overseen by myself and then my Manager, and the MD for larger projects. In hindsight, I do feel that some of the younger staff were treating the job like college - i don’t believe some of them had ever received any constructive criticism before and it was really difficult managing them.
Eventually, a lot of the dead-weight organically moved on, and I do think that was for the best for everyone.
For me, personally, I have moved onto a larger corporate brand as I had worked my way up as far as I could in the time I was with TCL.
I will be forever grateful to Matt, and the team for their support and this opportunity, and the Creation Lab will always have a place in my heart.
