award responsibility as widely as possible. The phrase "Many hands makes light

the joy of contributing to our Barony. The whole Barony gets stronger and the
individual earns respect for a job well done. I would give those who
contribute the attention they deserve while encouraging others to stretch
themselves in whatever arena they find attractive. In all the jobs I have held
in the SCA, I have recruited deputies and actually used them effectively.

needs doing and that they can and should do it. In business, you can push
someone into doing their job or pull them. It turns out pulling works better
in business also. You take the time to discover their goals. Then you figure a
way for them to achieve part of their goals by doing what is needed for the
organization. It works much better than pushing or manipulating. And it is
