BS Communications – Good of the Order and leaving no one behind

 

 This perception is common in all organizations and is the result of poor communications or information about the project tasks at hand.

 

Less BS (bombastic showmanship and fluff or…the organic version) really improves the levels of performance at all levels and is to everyone’s mutual gain and advantage. 

 

It is also true that those that BS the most, have and spend less time to constructively fulfil their tasks and the projects that have committed too. This is a common problem that always consumes limited resources and is at the expense of those that have the responsibility and integrity to complete that assigned task.

 

It is our hope that in 2010 we can leave the non essential BS behind and get on with our “ core values” through better communications   “Lets constructively  bridge  the gaps please “S. Holle

 

Other grand knight notes going into the new decade

 

History always repeats itself and adapting to current realities is a natural part of any renewal process. Our fraternal organization was founded to help those in real need, to combat prejudices, “to be a Shield and sword for those in Distress “or to make a real difference to all participants. Today there are many people in distress who need us, our energy, our help our leadership, our resource , our support and constructive encouragement.

 

Over time some council have “Strayed” from these basic core values and moved into the “irrelevant and publicly perceived Feathers and fluff territory”. This has weakened us to the point of becoming a irrelevant and a minor force in our community, or to those that by “our oath “we are “bound” to serve . Many well meaning procedures have become procedures for procedures sake or excuses for not doing things. Poor communications are obviously counterproductive and impede the local community building processes. ( Some of our halls are drab and represent ghosts of splendour past – we need to revitalize our membership “right now” and in the future)
