OPPORTUNITY “If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade.” Tom Peters
The Association/Society Domino Affect Your DISTRICT can be the next to fall, just like the domino in front of you and behind you, if you do not take steps to understand the external changes that are forcing professions to rethink their role in today’s health care
Conditions For Associations To Exist! • Health care is changing. • Health care Legislation increasing. • Health care is in crisis. • Health care will change for employers/employees in the next ten years. • Health care is no longer a right of passage for employees.
Associations and Revenue • Vendors are weighing in on annual meeting expenses. • Vendors have begun to use E-Commerce. • Vendors are reassessing which society offers the best venue for increasing their business. • Vendors look at registration numbers before committing to a trade show anymore.
Membership –Why Join Any Society? • Potential members can obtain information. from internet portals at a price that your society/societies can’t touch; nearly free! • Advertising is down and publications are costly to produce. • Members want up to date and quick information.
Member Stagnation: Membership levels and revenue have been at the same point for a long time and the “culture” you represent are seen as going along with the crowd rather than becoming innovators and risk takers!
Why Reach Out To Non-members? Shared knowledge from different districts form the core competency or body of knowledge needed to build and administer a state organization.
Importance Of Non-members • Members and non-members, or potential members want to go to one place to obtain their credits, their information and their support for issues and problems they are experiencing every day! • Why REACH OUT? Not for you but for your colleagues! That is the main reason!
Difficulties And The Differences • Most likely, LEADERSHIP in any DISTRICT is unlike anything you’ve prepared for. It is humbling to realize how much there is to know and how serious are the mistakes that can be made if you lose sight of any of these guiding points:
Difficulties And The Differences • What you do about ISSUES will define your profession and your society for many years to come! • Will you be a communicator, a facilitator, or a leader? • Will you spend more of your energy focusing on negative “me issues”?
The Master you are serving is the Future: This means that you are not working for just the association/district; Instead, you are working for what the association will become!
Keeping Your Members First • During DISTRICT MEETINGS you need to “over communicate” what discussions you are having with your membership of each of the respective associations/districts.
When TO COMMUNICATE? • The Best Time to COMMUNICATE is before it is necessary. • When collective energies can be used proactively instead of being sapped by the demands of crisis management. • When one voice is the best voice.
Why LEADERS FAIL? • Unwillingness by some members. • Improper structure. • Timing • Lack of effective communication. • Economics and Egos – two big E’s.
Why LEADERSHIP Works? • Clear Communication. • Stakeholders • Legislators • Regulators • What members want. • Accomplishments feel great!
Providing Information About The Integration Information = Power! Especially as it affects individuals careers or business.
Critical Communication Points • The Harvard Business Review (November-December 2000) says that there are two critical periods in the life of most associations. • Association Leaders need to be champions of communication. • Association Leaders need to organize tangible successes.
Reaching the Recalcitrant • They are called by many names: • Dream Stealers • Joy Grabbers • Naysayers • These are the folks who can’t or won’t grasp your vision for the future.
Steps to Bring the Recalcitrant Along • Clearly articulate the vision and show them their place in it. • Stress the importance of reinvention personally and organizationally. • Create excitement around the possibility of dismantling your organization and rebuilding it.
Steps to Bring the Recalcitrant Along - Continued • Do your best to understand the risk-adverse personality. • Illustrate how the change might fill the inherent need for meaning and purpose. • Teach the recalcitrant, mentor them, cheerlead them into seeing how they are needed to bring about positive change.
Focus Factor • Stay focused on the vision and stop worrying about getting along with those who won’t come along for the ride.
