the watch of time

Just about any formal organization or informal group needs some degree of active leadership…

• Celebrate member accomplishments by organizing a party and nominating the member as designated driver
• At meetings walk softly, speak positively, and carry two heavy sticks
• Arrange a formal ceremony to install the leadership team, including a blood oath to ensure commitment
• Encourage open discussion among members without interruption or judgement, unless of course something is said you disagree with
• Demonstrate your skills in guiding member growth by giving them more responsibility, especially if liability issues are possible
• Initiate setting a group success strategy, delegate tasks to engender participation, and stay well rested to garner any accolades
• Develop a referral fee arrangement with a clothing supplier, then set down a uniform dress code for members to showcase harmony
• Be accessible to members as much as possible, except when you turn off your phone or are doing something else
• Ensure all members really buy into group goals by charging them a fee
• Understand that conflict resolution is important, so be prepared to adjudicate with honourable methods such as arm wrestling, charades, or blowing bubbles
