VK4 SILENT KEYS @ WIA YEAR FROM MAY 6 2024

SK CALL SK NAME DATE ADVISED BY

VK4PS ALAN STEPHENSON 23/05/24 (vk4zz)



--------------------------------------------------------------------*



--------------------------------------------------------------------*

Hello, I’m Geoff Emery, VK4ZPP, and I’ve been thinking.

Welcome to the end, no not the Universe but the end of the financial year
when wage
earners and small businesses collect those important documents that
support the
claims that will bolster the hoped for tax return.

There is an area which we should all spend some time on when we think
about building
our clubs. That is something called group dynamics. Really it is just
understanding
how we can help provide the best experience within our organisation.
Satisfied
people will return and support a club in so many ways and it is important
we do a
bit to smooth that process.

If our club is open in its discussion and shares and invites
participation, it means
everyone has the opportunity to take part in the decision making. I am
aware that
some clubs exist with a small executive committee which deals with all the
necessary
formalities and organisation and then presents a sealed package at the
next AGM and
probably goes on to select the same people for another 12 months. Then
there are
those bodies that encourage members to talk amongst themselves and come up
with
ideas which are discussed at the next formal meeting. I wonder which clubs
then have
the most satisfied and interested participants in activities? People
respond well
when they feel they have a sense of ownership whether of a physical item,
ideas or
activities.

Part of the inclusion process is ensuring that messages get out to members
and
especially potential members. Once it was regular newsletter and then the
regular
posts on the web site and now perhaps social media. Whatever method is
used it needs
to suit the people on the other end. Like a newsagency with racks of
magazines that
no-one buys, if the communication is ignored or just glossed over then it
has failed
to serve its purpose.

These are positive drivers of a successful group dynamic but we also need
to think
about the things that spoil interaction, also.

It can be awkward and just bloody hard, at times, to stem a tendency for
gossip to
spread. Often it is a sign of leadership failures that the hidden rumours are
spread. If we think back to the old schoolyard game of Chinese Whispers,
you can get
the idea of how worthwhile most gossip is. In other words, what could be
something
constructive and positive can get passed on to be destructive and
negative. This is
where openness and free discussion sets a pattern which others can take up
for
themselves. How much better is it to say something openly and if there is
any error
in it, have it corrected without rancour and then things can move on without
disruption.

Sadly one of the things that we see, especially from overseas politicians,
is that
opinions that aren’t greeted with total agreement by an audience are then
followed
by invective and personal insults. There is no reason to adopt this
immature way of
behaving if you honestly want to see growth and progress amongst your
fellows.

We should aim to be our best and share our best and share in the good
outcomes that
result.

I’m VK4ZPP Geoff Emery and that’s what I think….how about you?
