Changing our chapter or council
Seven Dysfunctions and how to change them AND
“You Make The Call”
![Page 2: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The key issue is…Culture. “What we do when we
don’t think about it…the unwritten bylaws…it’s what we are as opposed to what we could or might be”
What is the culture of your chapter or council?
![Page 3: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
To understand that cultureIs a powerful force.
Can be changed.
Is a product in part of the members.
But you have to ask questions and challenge the way that things are done.

1)The elected leader is…DictatorialPassiveIneffectiveCan’t/Won’t delegateCommittees are dysfunctionalIs an amplification device for the
organization.

Some officers…
![Page 6: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2) No strategic plan
We fear organization.We focus upon the trivial because
it is easy. We avoid the challenging, difficult,
tough issues.We don’t have time to do it right
but we always have time to do it over.
![Page 7: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
3) Meetings are a mess.Start late.Food, beverages, smoking, phones.Repetitious. Boring. No agenda or
a “kind of” agenda.No development of the
organization. This is your 1 opportunity that week. Make it count.
![Page 8: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
4) The few, the loud, the idiots.
We allow the loud to dominate the organization.
We bystand while the idiots define our organization.
We use terms such as “Brotherly” to justify our inaction.
We don’t challenge or push back.
![Page 9: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

5) At the council level…We elect or appoint the youngest and least effective members to governing council representative positions. We neither inspire nor encourage members to move us forward.
![Page 11: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
6) The elephants go unchallenged.
It’s always “Next semester”
It’s always, “We can’t change quickly”
It’s always, “Lowest common denominator”
![Page 12: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Don’t allow the elephant in the room to stand there. Push it over.
![Page 13: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
We need to push the elephants over
![Page 14: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
7) We are fearful of change.
“Change is inevitable. Progress is optional”
“Everyone loves progress. No one likes change”

The Struggle Bus
![Page 18: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Get macro.Get micro.
Define it.
![Page 19: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Define it: Make it a sentence or twoSome members of the chapter are engaged in
hazing.
We have a % of members who see ABG as “Beer and men/women”
Some members are using drugs.
Most members are distant and apart from the institution and the national organization.
![Page 20: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What are the issues?Eliminate the euphemisms: Kinda,
sorta, maybe, like, technically and the generalities…”Nationals university, the campus paper, our alumnae/alumni…”
Culture hides in non-specific terms.
![Page 21: Changing our chapter or council](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568164aa550346895dd6a67c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Easy. One word.
Selfish.

New Board Member syndrome: “I’m going to go there and straighten them out”
Really. Really?
