a. Name one way Ross could make things worse!
b. Name one way he might make things better.
Then repeat until you cannot add to one or the other list.
I think that Ross and a whole lot of others have plenty of ideas to give. Unfortunately I think that nobody will even listen.
I think that Ross and a whole lot of others have plenty of ideas to give. Unfortunately I think that they don't understand enough about the dynamics of large organizations to present them so anybody will even listen.

b. Ross could revolutionize Laser sailing in North America. He would inspire a whole new generation of sailors with his enthusiasm and wacky ideas. He would make sure the class published a kick-ass newsletter with information about the growing number of Laser fleets on the continent and a schedule of all the fun new regattas being run. There would be articles about regattas and tips on sailing bursting with humor and energy. The class would sell all sorts of hats and sweatshirts and crazy bumper stickers that people would be proud to wear on their heads, torsos and cars to demonstrate their commitment to this cool phenomenon called the Laser class. There would be an anarchical disrepectful class website that would be full of useful and entertaining information that would attract newcomers to the class. Ross would show up at all the major regattas across the continent and sign up new members of the class by the gazillion. Every year the class would grow in numbers and life would be good.
a. The old farts would look at what Ross had done and start whinging. They would say that Ross was out of control. They would say that he can't add up. A group of gray corporate types would oust Ross from his positon in the class leadership and put in his place a committee of accountants and MBAs who would care more about FASB rules and non-profit status then whether the class was growing or organizing great regattas in cool locations. There would be meetings and minutes and conference calls and "accountability" and "visibility" and it would all be incredibly boring. Every year the class would shrink and life would be bad and it would all be Ross's fault.
Note: Eric does not yet have one foot in the grave but he is well past his days of sitting in the truck on a cold wet day with the AC running full blast so it will not seem so cold when he rigs up and goes sailing in 40 degreee weather.
Eric has become a short haired, practical, politically correct, MBA totin', home owner, gray haired, saving for retirement old fart.
Some people are needed for sage advice. Others are needed for enthusiasm and idealistic goals and the energy to strive for those goals.
