Leadership, though difficult to define, is vital to the health and success of any organization. There is no more important role in WBCCI than the Unit President. The influence of the Unit President is vital to our success. Working together we can accomplish much more than we can working alone. John Quincy Adams said "if actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."
 
 

9Nine Ways to Kill an Organization

1. Don’t attend the meetings.

2. If you do attend, go late.

3. Find fault with the officers.

4. Never accept an office or an assignment.

5. Nevertheless, feel hurt if you are not asked toaccept an office.

6. Do nothing more than is absolutely necessary. Then if you see other members working together, gripe that the club is run by a clique.

7. Hold back on your dues, or threaten not to pay because things aren’t going your way.

8. Don’t bother about getting new members. Let someone else do it.

9. If you are asked to express an opinion, remember others also have an opinion and it might not agree with yours.

Well the very Hot Topic for this International Rally is the motor home. No matter where your feelings lie, remember we all have opinions, some you agree with and some you don’t. After all the shouting we want to be able to keep our heads held high by not saying or doing anything that could cause hurt to any of our WBCCI members.
