My association with Markit in 2nd year at LIBA demanded not only creativity but some good leadership skills. Continuing the tradition we (2nd year Markit reps) had to bring in fresh minds from 1st year in the club. We came up with this event called "Expression4Impression" where in we asked the 1st year students to come up with a tagline for the Markit logo that is the thumb impression. We got tremendous response for the event and the winners for the same was declared in the packed auditorium at the end of an entertaining quiz. Then we took an interest check of the people who were interested in joining the club and to our surprise we got more than 40 names.
Now the next step for us was to decide upon 8-10 people out of those interested to be the part of core Markit team. And we decided to let all the interested students from 1st year conduct this event called "ADD2AD" which was all about improving on certain TVCs which were not communicating their message effectively. We thought that by giving juniors a chance to conduct this event will automatically bring the passionate people to the fore. But sometimes things doesn't go the way you want and despite extending the deadline for the event twice and many pleadings( read 2 in "ADD2AD" in Hind to get a feel of it :))we din't get a single entry from 1st year. I really don't know what went wrong may be my leadership was flawed. Anyways we went ahead and screened some 6 odd entries from 2nd year but this event left me demoralized.
