Seeking community in associations since 2008. One of the truisms of association management is that national/chapter relationships are often.fraught. Details concealed, of course, but a little background. The organization has chapters in every state. Of course, the national has to be genuine. 10 April 2012.

If business people read, accept and implement the ideas contained in Humanize around these qualities and how they can be fostered at the personal, process, and organizational level (hardly a given of course), I believe this book has the power to RADICALLY transform our organizations and, just possibly, save the world of associations in the process.

The Demise of REM and Association Management. We are surrounded by messages about "getting our heads in the game" and "staying the course," and "up with people, you can do it!" Will they change course and redirect resources when the opportunities present themselves? Life changes course. Life is messy.

Innovation in the governmental and/or non-profit arena is generally seen as a threat to the status quo. Ergo, innovative executives are generally seen as a threat to the organization. Just by the nature of the beast, chief staff executives may not be the best persons to shoulder the banner of lead innovators.
