Impy 460 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I like the ideas but I feel the long term goal of 30 members to achieve some of these things is a bit much. It obviously merits a discussion with Scotland, but I don’t believe a staff of 30 will have enough to split to keep them all engaged. In the past, 20 is the cap where activity starts to fall off, whether from stretching leadership too thin or just not having enough assigned. I espcially think that putting 3 reps on a team such as HH, WW, etc is a bit much because those roles can be held by the same person. Reps 2 and 3 could be the same person for all aspects, because the need to interchange shouldn’t be so frequent you need all 3 all the time. The ideas alone are solid, but I think you can achieve them with less than 30 members. With that, the baseline of what I’m saying isn’t coming from a negative place — I believe you’re a lot closer to these things that are reflected above and you should attempt it with less members instead of waiting to hit a number. You might be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2
Truecifer 354 Posted January 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Scotland and I will be speaking about this gameplan as we accomplish things and move forward so this entire topic is open to change. Nothing is set in stone. It's just nice to see some ideas written out so we do not lose track of them. I do disagree about the WW and HH teams. Not everyone is available during those times so we would always have a representative, each person would write 1-2 articles a month. We could maybe condense it a bit but I am aiming for full dedication. As for trying to accomplish some of these things now, we would like to take the time to perfect what we are doing. We can most likely achieve everything on a mediocre level with 20 members, but would achieve everything phenomenally with 30. I know it's a large goal but I was always told to dream big. This is my dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
Impy 460 Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 When do you need to go from 10 to 15 members when the math in difference is just 2 people for anchors? Additonally, it seems a super if you want want 10 out of the 30 to be normal news writers and if you have all these other things to do or offer, you don’t need that ratio. Event coverage takes a single night, and you could get HH results from T&E and just post a weekly thing since they’re gonna run two games a week per division and just say “here’s who competed this week and here’s the standings,” attach a YouTube video at the top if they were streamed, and call it a day. Happy Hour is just a game night and full coverage feels a bit much on a weekly basis since each one comes out to “they played a game and made jokes and it was fun.” The Town Hall seems like the only Happy Hour that’s different or geared toward a recap there. Im not sure what DECA will comprise, but again, it seems to overlap with the HH, HH, and WW coverage and advertising of events is the main focus of marketing and your entire staff can market things regardless of position. Additonally large events like Spirit Week have releases the Board prepares that can be copy/pasted. If you have 14 members, finding 5 people for a week-long event to cover each night shouldn’t be difficult, and since it will be the main focus, it can obviously take precedence. One big thing leaders tend to do is over-planning and taking simple concepts and complicating them to a degree that diminishes the returns. You risk turning your department into a mess of beauracry and single-function members who won’t get involved. I am definitely on the side that these things should be attempted at a lower number before deciding upon additional staffing, because I’m not following how the math or implementation is going to work out.
