I just want to know who ‘they‘ are.
They are responsible for me being unhappy and I want it to stop.
I have been thinking about the infamous they (no not the musical Band – great name for a ban by the way!) all week.
I went to a meeting and things were pretty bad in this particular organisation. I found not only were they responsible, but they were the ones that said they would do it in the first place – now, we, have to put up with the fallout because they didnt do it.
We had to do something. We called another meeting and told everyone to come along – preferably up in arms! Remember, meetings are always a great alternative to actually coming up with a solution. (click here for a guide to meetings). And it is important that you come to important meetings ‘up in arms’ because then the solution is irrelevant as you got to be applaud , shocked and hopefully offended.
Yes, WE called a meeting, WE decided to take charge of our own destiny!
They were not going to get away with this!!
They didn’t show up – only we showed up and had to try and figure out what they had done. Every single person in the organisation was there, yet, they weren’t. We tried to figure out what had gone wrong, where the money had gone, why there was no leadership, why there were no records…. but, they weren’t there: we were all there, but we didnt have the answers – only they could answer these burning questions at to what went wrong.
It wasn’t MY fault, it wasn’t OUR fault, WE all did the right thing – they are to blame!
So WE decided to do the right thing and forget about the past and look to the future. We were going to fix this. We were going to do the right thing. We even voted for it and it was unanimous!!!
So we all left the meeting, happy… knowing someone was going to fix it.
