The Most Excellent Walton said:
"And the Unit's Commissioner needs to be informed and involved in
getting the coaching and training SHE needs to assist the leadership
of the Troop, instead of "just raising her hands too and saying "we
give"."
So very true. As the original post noted, there may be a structural
problem here: I think it is not a good idea for a Unit Commissioner
to be a member of the adult leadership of the troop being commish'ed.
There is such a thing as being too close to the situation, or too
aware of other, tangential issues within the charter organization, or
whatever.
The necessary degree of detachment is lacking to see a problem and
call attention to it, without having to be concerned with fallout in
some other setting that involves the same personalities.
Just my $0.02.
Thanks for listening.
