Club Stagnation
Stagnation is common in business, clubs, and any organisation which has a manager or someone giving directions. They’ll produce a winning formula and more than likely then fall into a routine, and stick with it. This is good for the immediate future of a club, and it may well build the foundation for the long term benefit of the club. But unless they step away, no one will understand what is required and how to do it.
Stepping away doesn’t meaning leaving altogether. It may mean you sit on an advisory board to the club, it may mean that you sit in on committee meetings to lend advice when asked, or be there when others fall into potholes, either way you’re still available.
This is important for those that secede you. Those that participate in the club will get the message that this place is so good, that even the ex-President wants to stick around. It facilitates the sort of message you want your club to broadcast in the loudest possible terms.
