[Ansteorra] The real problem . . . Officers

[L T]

Part of the problem is that people do the SCA for themselves...and see it as a game or see it as a cut and dried responsibility when they take a job.

To grow officers from their own ranks...the Administration (officers and nobles) and the Elders...need to think of things differently. To grow officers is like growing responsible children. You just can't hand a child a chore and expect them to know how to do it...or where and how you like things done and put afterward.

The Admin and Elders need to work together to figureout how to break down large jobs into little jobs, get people with little or no experience to do them, and guide them. This will build up the person's trust in themselves to do something in an organizational role....and it will build up the organization's trust in them.

It's a long drawn out process...and not everyone is cut out to do some jobs...and some people are not cut out to guide...but it is the most effective way to grow people who can take responsibility within a group...with as little conflict and clash as possible....and being the SCA...we need as little drama as possible since we seem to inheritly have it....

unfortunately told I was not good enough.
