Barnard: the authority a subordinate grants

You asked, it did not happen. Before drawing conclusions about the person, four things are worth checking, and only one of them is about willingness.

How it works

An instruction lies on paper until the receiver accepts it, and they accept only when four conditions hold at once.

Understands itKnows exactly what is wanted, not roughly.
Helps the clubIt looks to them like it helps the club at all.
Fits their own interestDoes not clash with exams and a job.
Is able to complyHas the time and the energy, mentally and physically.
When something goes undone you can point at the missing condition; it is almost always the first or the third, and almost never laziness.
What you do first

Take three tasks that went undone this month and mark what was missing for each: did they understand it, did they believe it helps the club, did it fit their own interests, or was there simply no time. Ask them — in one sentence, not behind their back.
