Re: Change
Yes Jack, well stated, and it is interesting how this is all playing out. There are those who believe: it happened, it was legal, forget it or get over it and move on. And those who are concerned about the process of how this happened and for me it speaks to underlying issues within our NCRS organization. The "5" obviously see no issues here, as with the ones who support them, the end justified the means and they won, move along. The other "4", and their supporters do not feel that way, want this examined and discussed for their understanding, and want to make sure this kind of thing will not happen again.
In my corporate life, we took many training sessions on "communications", as when you may be spending say $4 million a day on a major project, it is important communications among all involved is the best, most complete, and well understood by all, that it can be. I remember a quote from George Bernard Shaw that says: The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place". Even in NCRS BOD actions, I think the symptom of a dysfunctional organization is one where communications have broken down, and yes, as Jack says, that may also be a sign of lack of respect, empathy, etc. among the participants.
One example, the "5" apparently were under the impression Mike wanted to leave, he was just waiting for someone to step up. Mike stated that was not the case, and had a plan for his remaining tenure. When Shannon's name was placed in nomination, and Mike placed his in as well, why did they continue to think Mike wanted to leave? I think that one action speaks volumes about this process, and the way this board operates, and it is not positive.
