Running a tight ship

Contributed by: DR. SEAN REIF D.C. on 6/11/2008

Running a tight ship is where the action is. We type letters, keep minutes, record decisions, transmit messages, read documents and file the multitude of paper that everyone receives. Whether differences in occupation, race sex, religion, or age are significant factors in accounting for the cohesion of many issues is debatable. It could be shown that these variables may be a good predictor of voting behavior.

If you look at the editorials, "letters to the editor", you would see that nobody believes any city is perfect, everyone wants some changes. Listen to the talk at the schools, to the talk at your own supper table. Go and sit in the audience at a public meeting; the City Council, Planning Commission, School Board; or a public forum; where rival candidates speak or where various people discuss local problems. At most meetings you will hear lively arguments. You will also get interested in news reports of meetings you have attended because often you will find that the news focuses on statements which you didn't realize were so important, or less so.

You will think to yourself, "Now there's something I wish they would fix.

It is human nature to form opinions quickly on very few facts. Have we our opinions to become concrete. Do we pay ANY attention to anything that could change our minds? We refuse to believe 'we could be wrong.'

These Commissioners have come to believe as autonomous in domains they have regarded as their own. They cannot serve several masters who are not always in agreement as to what should be done. Continued service on a commission is a process of continuing education. It is difficult for the Committee to acquire in-house expertise. Commissioners are high in activity and high in "willingness" to return, if they can make a significant contribution. If they don't, they won't.

A wise man wastes no energy on pursuits for which he is not fitted. He is still wiser, who from among the things that he can do well, chooses and follows the BEST. The more extensive a man’s knowledge of what has been done, the greater will be within his power of knowing WHAT TO DO.
