With all the experienced community leaders here, I'm sure we've all encountered them at some point – the long-standing members who feel they've put in their dues and believe they deserve a staff role. It's a situation that can bring about interesting discussions on the balance between earned positions and entitlement.
So have you actually encountered members who assert that their seniority alone should qualify them for a staff role? How have you handled these situations in your community? Have you ever promoted a member solely based on their tenure, and how did that work out? Or perhaps they are a friend of yours and believe they should be staff?
On the flip side, what criteria do you believe should determine someone's suitability for a staff role? Is it primarily about longevity and loyalty, or should it be based on other factors, such as active participation, leadership qualities, and their ability to contribute positively to the community's growth?
We can also discuss the potential benefits and challenges of promoting long-standing members to staff roles. So does their experience and familiarity with the community outweigh the risks of potential bias or complacency?
What are your thoughts on members who believe their longevity should earn them a staff position? Let's have an open and insightful discussion!
