Why Professionals Turn Amateur

If you’re leading a volunteer group, did you ever get frustrated with the amateurism? Sloppiness, cheapness, jerry-rigged, make-do, shoddiness. It’s the “good enough” attitude. And yet, most of the members of your board and many of your volunteers likely possess rich, professional skills and expertise. They would never settle for “good enough” in their businesses, for their customers, in their own homes.

Are you playing sandlot ball with bench full of pros who are just sitting on their…gifts?

It’s time to raise the bar. You want your volunteers to bring their ‘A game’ then lay out those expectations.

Of course, the first objection you’ll hear is that ‘we don’t have the money’. If that guy said that to his boss, he’d be hitting the bricks…either to raise the money, or to get another job. But somehow, on a volunteer board, we all just nod passively, as if accepting our group’s impoverished  fate.

Of course you don’t have the money. But what would you do if you did have the money?

What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?

How would you equip and deploy your leaders to fulfill the purpose of your organization, rather than wasting their time approving the minutes of the last meeting?

Life’s too short to be the chairman of the ‘just gettin’ by‘ board.
