Subject: How to Kill an Organization
I saw this on a non-Scouting list and since "top 10 lists" seem
popular again I thought I would pass it along. Of late, in my "unstable"
condition, I think I have been guilty of a few of these. (The author is
unknown.)
HOW TO KILL AN ORGANIZATION IN 14 EASY STEPS.
1. Don't attend meetings. If you do, arrive late.
2. Be sure to leave before the meeting is over.
3. Don't say anything at meetings; wait until you get outside.
4. Vote for anything, then go home and do nothing.
5. Find fault with your officers and fellow members.
6. Take no part in organizational affairs.
7. Take all the organization will give you, but give
nothing in return.
8. Talk cooperation, but never cooperate.
9. Never ask anyone to join the organization.
10. If asked to help, just say you don't have time.
11. Never accept an office; it's much easier to criticize.
12. Threaten to resign at every opportunity! Tell others
they are tolerating far to much.
13. Never read anything pertaining to the organization.
You might find out too much.
14. Don't do anything more than you have to. When others
willingly and unselfishly use their abilities to help
the causes, howl because the organization is being run
by a "clique"
