8 Core Beliefs of Extraordinary Bosses

[jducoeur]

LinkedIn continues to turn up just about one really good article per week. This week's is "8 Core Beliefs of Extraordinary Bosses", from Inc. All very solid, cogent observations, true of more or less any company, so it's worth a little thought for anyone in management.

(More than half of the points apply directly to clubs as well, if you substitute "members" for "employees", so it's worthwhile for folks in leadership positions in groups like SCA, LARP or what-have-you...)

ALL of those points apply to volunteer groups.

Well, I was having trouble seeing the technology point as terribly relevant to the SCA. But point taken...

Oh, I could tell you stories. Boy Scouts national had to ram Email down the throats of its Councils. The one I worked for was convinced that it would be more of a time suck than listening to the answering machine every morning.

I had to *beg* for a year to do a website for our town Cub and Boy Scouts - websites they promptly couldn't live without. 4-H, Bolton Fair, every group has trouble making the leap to technology.

Volunteer groups' information requirements aren't different from that of "paid" offices.
