- SUBJECT: MGT - Team building - Part 2/3
-
- The paid staff leadership shares in the success or failure
- of its volunteer reserves. Don't hesitate to make it clear that
- the players are in your band and not a bunch of soloists playing
- someone else's score. There are some who do not like this music
- and you should expect that. But it is, after all, your dance
- party or none at all. Agency's failure to apply the same
- management principles and practices done for reserve law
- enforcement and volunteer firefighter personnel can lead to the
- failure of a communications reserve program.
- By and large, once you have recruited your initial and core
- staff you will never have to advertise again. Word of mouth will
- attract the people you need and want. Virtually all such
- successful programs have found that working through a club or
- clubs is not the answer. It tends to bring along the unnecessary
- baggage and politics internal to the club. Be aware that not all
- club members are interested in your program, not all club members
- may be eligible, and for some it may create divided loyalty
- problems. We take an absolutely neutral position on any member's
- outside non-conflicting activities, including even whether or not
- they are a licensed Amateur Radio operator.
